What must a prescription NOT be in order to fill it as a continued care prescription?

  1. A new prescription

  2. For a chronic condition

  3. For a non-narcotic substance

  4. Prescribed by a specialist

The correct answer is: A new prescription

In order for a prescription to be considered a continued care prescription, it must not be a new prescription. This is because a continued care prescription is meant to be a continuation of a previously prescribed medication, not a new one. Additionally, it must also be for a chronic condition, as this type of prescription is specifically for ongoing, long-term treatment. It can also be for a non-narcotic substance, as long as it is prescribed for a chronic condition. A prescription from a specialist is not necessary for it to be considered a continued care prescription, as long as it meets the other requirements.
