Pharmacy Policies and Procedures

Question 9 • VA_Pharmacology_A

If pharmacy technicians have questions about how to handle look-alike, sound-alike drugs, where should they look for more information?

Answer
A
the pharmacy policy and procedure manual
B
the Drug Enforcement Administration website
C
the pharmacy prescription-management software
D
the USP-797 Guidelines

Explanation

Look-alike, sound-alike drug handling is addressed by the pharmacy’s own safety policies and procedures. Technicians should consult the pharmacy policy and procedure manual for the approved steps. The DEA focuses on controlled substances, and USP <797> concerns sterile compounding, so neither is the best general source here.
