A.True
B.False

Answer 1

A practitioner may prescribe pre-packaged emergency meds to a patient being discharged from the ER under certain conditions.

Step-by-step explanation:

A practitioner may prescribe pre-packaged emergency meds to a patient being discharged from the ER if any of these conditions are met:

1. The patient has a condition that requires immediate treatment, and there is no time to wait for a regular prescription.
2. The patient does not have easy access to a pharmacy or cannot get a prescription filled immediately.
3. The patient has previously been prescribed the medication and needs a temporary supply until they can see their regular healthcare provider.

In these situations, the practitioner can give a pre-packaged emergency medication to ensure the patient's immediate needs are met.
