True or False: A client can request an oral prescription from a veterinarian.

A client can indeed request an oral prescription from a veterinarian. In veterinary practice, oral prescriptions are permissible as long as they comply with relevant regulations and guidelines. This can be particularly useful in situations where the client may have difficulty obtaining a written prescription for various reasons, such as immediate need or logistical issues.

However, it’s important to note that certain conditions apply. For instance, in the case of controlled substances, there are more stringent regulations surrounding their prescription due to the potential for misuse and abuse. In these instances, veterinarians often prefer or are required to provide written prescriptions to ensure proper documentation and to comply with legal requirements.

Other options point to conditions like emergencies or restrictions on controlled substances, which do not encompass the broader allowance for oral prescriptions in general veterinary practice. Thus, while there are considerations depending on the situation, the general principle allows for clients to request oral prescriptions.
