Which sequence correctly describes changing the manufacturer on a prescription in the system?

• A. Create a new prescription in the records.
• B. Delete the old prescription and re-enter.
• C. F2 (work queue) enter patient name; Options at the top and scroll to change manufacturer; select the new NDC and press enter; the leaflet reprints.
• D. Use the insurance module to switch manufacturers.

Answer: (C)

Changing the manufacturer is done by updating the existing prescription to point to a different product, rather than creating or deleting records. In this system you’d open the patient in the work queue, choose the option to change the manufacturer from the top menu, scroll to the desired manufacturer, select the new NDC, and press enter. The leaflet then reprints to reflect the updated product information. This approach preserves the original prescription history and ensures the patient gets accurate labeling and drug details. Why other approaches don’t fit: creating a new prescription would create a separate record that complicates the patient’s history; deleting the old prescription would erase the link to the original entry and could affect audit trails; using the insurance module doesn’t modify the actual prescription product or the printed information.
