When an Advance Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) writes a prescription, does the physician’s name need to be included on the prescription? Yes, the physician’s name, address and telephone number are required to be included on the prescription drug order. If the prescription is for a controlled substance, the physician’s DEA number is also required to be included on the prescription. The requirements for what needs to be included on a prescription drug order are specified in Section 157.056 of the Texas Occupations Code and may only be amended by the Texas legislature. https://lnkd.in/eK_xeD7a
