True or False: A prescriber can sign multiple electronic prescriptions for controlled drugs for different patients using a single digital signature.

  1. True

  2. False

The correct answer is: True

The correct answer is false. In the context of electronic prescribing for controlled substances, a prescriber cannot use a single digital signature to sign multiple prescriptions for different patients. Each electronic prescription must be signed with a unique digital signature to ensure proper authentication and security, which helps prevent fraud and unauthorized access. This requirement is part of the regulations aimed at maintaining the integrity of the prescribing process, especially for controlled substances, which are subject to stricter controls due to their potential for abuse and dependency.
