Wisconsin MPJE (Pharmacy Jurisprudence) Practice Exam

Is it allowable for a remote dispensing site technician to dispense medication to the same patient?

1. Only if a pharmacist reviews it first

2. Only for non-controlled substances

3. Yes

4. No

The correct answer is: Only if a pharmacist reviews it first

There are specific rules which govern the dispensing of medication in a remote site, including the requirement for a pharmacist to review the medication before it is dispensed. This ensures that the patient receives the correct medication and the proper dosage. As such, it is not allowable for a remote dispensing site technician to dispense medication to the same patient without the review of a pharmacist first. The other options are incorrect because they do not take into account the necessary involvement of a pharmacist. B is incorrect because all medication, regardless of being controlled or non-controlled, should be reviewed by a pharmacist. C is incorrect because it is not specified that a pharmacist must review the medication. D is incorrect because it leaves out the important step of pharmacist review.
