Physician Assistants (PA) & Society Practice Test

New York requires clear identification of the prescriber on every PA prescription. For a physician assistant, this means including the PA’s name, professional title (Physician Assistant), license number, and the PA’s signature. If the prescription is for a controlled substance, the PA’s DEA registration number must also appear. This combination ensures the prescription can be traced to a legally authorized PA who is practicing under supervision, and it provides the necessary safeguards for controlled substances. The other options miss one or more essential elements: they omit the PA’s license number or signature, or they include details (like patient information or only drug data) that do not satisfy prescriber-identification requirements.
