Practice question
A TESDA-qualified caregiver with no separate medical-prescribing authority cites Section 7(d) as permission to independently select and prescribe new drugs. What distinction does the text require?
- It authorizes assistance with home medication as prescribed by a physician, not that claimed independent prescribing power
- Every caregiver may prescribe any drug independently
- A caregiving certificate automatically replaces every professional license
- The physician’s prescription is expressly unnecessary
- The employer alone may authorize every medical act
