Which of the following types of medication errors occurs when a prescriber is NOT licensed in the state where a prescription is written?

Unauthorized drug error
Rationale: According to the American Society of Health System Pharmacists (ASHP), an unauthorized drug error occurs when a prescriber is not licensed in the state where a prescription is written. This is because the prescriber in this example would be unauthorized to write prescriptions until licensed within the same state. A compliance drug error occurs when a patient does not adhere to the prescribed regimen. A prescribing error takes place when a prescriber orders an incorrect medication.
