Pharmacy Standards

Question 1 • VA_Pharmacology_A

Storing different versions, such as topical and oral, of the same drug in different parts of the pharmacy, and discouraging distribution of professional samples are standards set by which organization?

Answer
A
Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA)
B
The Joint Commission (TJC)
C
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
D
Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

Explanation

The Joint Commission (TJC) sets patient-safety and medication-management standards for healthcare organizations. Separating different forms of the same medication helps prevent selection errors, and discouraging professional samples supports safer, more controlled medication distribution. The DEA focuses on controlled substances, OSHA on workplace safety, and the FDA on regulating drugs and products.
