A prepared medication was never dispensed because the patient never picked it up, and a technician starts pouring it back into the manufacturer’s stock bottle. What is wrong?

Nothing, because the stock bottle is where returned medication belongs

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

The only error is that a pharmacist must do the pouring personally

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

The error is that never-dispensed preparations must be destroyed in every case

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Never-dispensed preparations returned to stock may not go back into the manufacturer's stock bottle, and they are kept in a labeled container instead

A staff pharmacist repeatedly notices that a colleague arrives smelling of alcohol, slurs words during counseling, and once nearly dispensed the wrong medication before being stopped. The store manager urges the staff pharmacist to stay quiet because reporting would leave the store short-staffed. What does the prevailing professional obligation require?

Staying quiet, because staffing needs outweigh concerns that have not yet caused harm

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Reporting only if the colleague is caught diverting drugs, since impairment alone is a private matter

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Waiting until a patient is actually harmed so the report rests on a completed injury

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Reporting the impaired colleague through the board or its impairment program channels, because the duty to act on a colleague's impairment is not cancelled by staffing concerns

A patient’s Schedule Six prescription has no refills left and the prescriber cannot be reached in a timely manner, and Alex asks how much the pharmacist may dispense and whether a seventy-two-hour figure controls. What is correct?

The pharmacist may dispense no more than a seventy-two-hour supply, because that figure appears in the payment rules and therefore limits dispensing

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

The pharmacist may dispense no more than a fourteen-day supply or the smallest available unit-of-use package, and the seventy-two-hour figure is a state Medicaid payment rule rather than dispensing authority

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

The pharmacist may dispense a full thirty-day refill, because an expired prescription revives for one cycle in an emergency

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

The pharmacist may dispense nothing, because a Schedule Six prescription without refills can never support an emergency supply

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Evidence suggests a licensee’s continued practice poses an immediate and serious threat to public health and safety, and Reese asks whether the Board must hold a full hearing before acting. What applies?

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

No, because the Board may act first only for paperwork violations

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

No, because the Board may suspend the license or refuse renewal before a hearing in that situation

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Yes, because a threat finding must wait for a criminal conviction

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

A prescription arrives for a drug whose Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy program requires pharmacies to be specially certified to dispense it. This pharmacy has never enrolled in that program, though its pharmacists have dispensed similar drugs for years. What must happen first?

The pharmacy may dispense once and complete enrollment afterward

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Any licensed pharmacist on staff may dispense it because licensure satisfies the program

The pharmacy must be enrolled and certified in the drug's REMS program before it may dispense the drug

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

The pharmacy may dispense if the prescriber confirms enrollment is unnecessary

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

A forum post claims the prescriber’s follow-up after an oral prescription is due within 72 hours, and a pharmacist asks whether to calendar that figure. What is correct?

Yes, because 72 hours is the codified follow-up period

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

Yes, because 72 hours and two days are treated as identical in the rule

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

No, because the follow-up period is 30 days

Correct Incorrect Correct answer

No, because the follow-up provided for is an electronic prescription within two days, and the forum figure comes from different instruments
