I cannot agree with Sam's idea 
checking a few online dictionaries I find that drug, form and instructions for 
administration are all part of a prescription

the prescription refers to a single medication order

i think that he is quite confused between the *prescription form* and the 
data, because as we discussed a form can contain up to three items in most 
jurisdictions.
