What the answer needs to cover
Who can practise?
A state medical board oversees doctors. Its record shows their licences and published penalties or charges about their work.
What does the drug label say?
A drug label records approved uses and the warnings tied to that product.
What happened in a trial?
Trial results describe groups in a study setting, rather than promising an outcome for a person.
Use the licence record to check the doctor’s permission to practise. Use the drug label for its approved uses and warnings. Use a study paper for what happened in that study.

If the source does not settle it
Take the open point back to the prescriber or the plan. Ask which record would settle it and who will check that record.
Keep the answer with the proposed treatment so it can be read again at the next review.
