Giving a medication, dose or a treatment that "requires a prescription" makes an injury "recordable" under OSHA guidelines if the other circumstances of the event meet OSHA requirements for work-relatedness.
As an example, a "prescription" for 200mg ibuprofen is not recordable unless you tell the patient to take 3 pills at a time (a prescription dose of a non prescription medication.)
