Rationale: Prescription pads must be used only for writing prescriptions for medications. They should be kept secure so patients cannot remove blank pads from the office, and no other sort of communication should be written on them because of the possibility of them being erased and reused with forged prescription information. Physicians are 100% liable for pre-scriptions that come from their offices, and prescription pads should be carefully safeguarded from misuse.
