Tamper-resistant features for hand written prescriptions must include:

Tamper-resistant features for hand written prescriptions must include:

• A. One or more industry-recognized features to prevent unauthorized copying, erasure, or counterfeit forms
• B. No additional features required
• C. A holographic seal only
• D. A patient counter-signature

Answer: (A)

Tamper-resistant features are about protecting the integrity of handwritten prescriptions. The requirement is that these prescriptions include one or more industry-recognized features to prevent unauthorized copying, erasure, or counterfeit forms. In practice, at least one feature must actively deter tampering—such as preventing copying, preventing modification or erasure, or preventing counterfeiting. A holographic seal by itself does not satisfy the standard, since it may not address copying or alteration. A patient counter-signature also doesn’t address tampering. So the essential idea is that handwritten prescriptions must include at least one recognized feature that stops copying, erasure, or counterfeiting.
