Are texted prescriptions considered valid in a secure electronic system?

  1. Yes, in all cases

  2. No, as texting takes it out of a secure system

  3. Only if it includes a digital signature

  4. Yes, but only for non-narcotic drugs

The correct answer is: No, as texting takes it out of a secure system

Texted prescriptions are not considered valid in a secure electronic system because texting takes the prescription outside of the secure electronic system, increasing the risk of it being accessed by unauthorized individuals. Options A and C are incorrect because they suggest that texted prescriptions are always valid in a secure electronic system, which is not the case. Option D is incorrect because it implies that texted prescriptions are valid for non-narcotic drugs, but not for narcotics. However, texting a prescription still takes it out of the secure electronic system regardless of the type of drug prescribed.
