What information about the patient is required to complete a prescription?

The legal requirements for any prescription. The name and address of the patient. The form of the CD e.g. tablets, modified-release tablets. Strength of the preparation (when more than one strength of a preparation exists) e.g. 60 mg, 10 mg in 5 mL.

What are common errors that occur in the entry of a prescription?

Errors may be potential -- detected and corrected prior to the administration of the medication to the patient.
