The pharmacy computer database should include all of the following except:

B. patient Social Security numbers.
C. prescriber NPI numbers.
D. prescriber DEA numbers.
A. patient allergy information.

The correct answer is: C. prescriber NPI numbers.

B. Prescriber NPI numbers should not be included in the pharmacy computer database. While tracking prescriber information is important for patient safety and accountability, using NPI numbers alone is not sufficient for this purpose. Prescriber DEA numbers allow the pharmacy to verify the legitimacy and authority of the prescriber, while patient allergy information can help prevent dangerous drug interactions. Patient Social Security numbers, on the other hand, are sensitive personal information and should not be included in the database for privacy reasons. Therefore, the only option that does not serve a necessary purpose in the pharmacy database is B. Prescriber NPI numbers.
