A pharmacy has not updated its policies and procedures manual in over fifteen years. Most of the staff is not familiar with the pharmacy’s official rules and procedures. Why can this lead to the pharmacy being shut down?

Pharmacy policies and procedures should reflect current laws and regulations, and staff need to know how to follow them. If the manual is outdated and staff are unfamiliar with the rules, the pharmacy could violate newer laws, which may lead regulators to close it. Choice C gives this reason; pricing problems in the other choices do not explain a government shutdown.
