True or False: If an order is charged for upon administration, you do not need to return an unused dose to generate a credit.

When an order is charged at the time of administration, it indicates that the facility recognizes the transaction and records the charge for the dose that was given. In this context, unused doses do not require a return for a credit to be generated because the charge has already been applied for the administered medication. Therefore, there is no need to handle the unused portion for credit purposes since the initial administration and charge coverage are already completed.

This process simplifies inventory management by ensuring that the focus remains on the medications that were actually utilized, thereby streamlining operations and avoiding unnecessary returns. It also minimizes the risk of billing errors or complications that can arise from returning unused doses. The other options would imply differing protocol about the need for returning unused doses, which is not applicable in scenarios where a charge is made upon administration.
