Wisconsin MPJE (Pharmacy Jurisprudence) Practice Exam

Under what circumstances are pharmacists in Wisconsin required to dispense contraceptives?

1. Only if the patient is above 18 years of age

2. Only if the patient is female

3. Whenever requested, unless contraindicated, erroneous, or fraudulent

4. Only if the patient provides a doctor's note

The correct answer is: Only if the patient is above 18 years of age

In Wisconsin, pharmacists are required to dispense contraceptives under the circumstances specified in Option C - whenever requested, unless contraindicated, erroneous, or fraudulent. This means that pharmacists must provide contraceptives to patients who request them as long as there is no medical reason to refuse, the request is valid, and it is not a fraudulent request. Option A is not accurate because the age of the patient does not determine whether a pharmacist can dispense contraceptives in Wisconsin. Similarly, Option B is incorrect because the gender of the patient does not impact the pharmacist's obligation to dispense contraceptives. Finally, Option D stating that pharmacists can only dispense contraceptives if the patient provides a doctor's note is not in line with the requirements in Wisconsin.
