Which of the following must be included if a new prescription is to be considered complete and clear?

Drug allergies
Date written
NDC number
Billing information

The correct answer is: Date written

A new prescription must include certain information to be considered complete and clear. This information includes the date the prescription was written and the name of the medication being prescribed. Drug allergies may also be included to alert the pharmacist to any potential allergies. However, this information is not necessary for the prescription to be considered complete. The NDC number is a unique identifier for a specific medication, but it is not required for the prescription to be considered complete and clear. Billing information is also not necessary for a prescription to be complete and clear. Therefore, the only option that must be included for a new prescription to be complete and clear is the date written.
