Which sentence is correct?

  • A. The physician wrote a prescription for the needed medicine
  • B. The physician wrote a recommendation for the needed medicine
  • C. The physician wrote a report for the needed medication
  • D. The physician wrote a subscription for the needed medication
Correct Answer: A

Rationale: A prescription is a written order from a physician or other licensed health practitioner for the preparation and administration of a medication. In this context, 'prescription' is the correct term for the document written by a physician to authorize the dispensing of medication. The other options (B, C, D) use incorrect terms such as 'recommendation,' 'report,' and 'subscription,' which do not accurately convey the action of a physician prescribing medication. Therefore, choice A is the correct answer as it accurately describes the action taken by the physician.
