Washington Multistate Pharmacy Jurisprudence MPJE Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 445

Which tasks cannot be delegated in a pharmacy setting?

Selection of over-the-counter medications

Consultation with patients and other healthcare professionals, and receipt of a verbal prescription

In a pharmacy setting, tasks that involve speaking with patients or other healthcare professionals, as well as receiving a verbal prescription, cannot be delegated. These tasks require the knowledge and expertise of a licensed pharmacist. Option A, selection of over-the-counter medications, can be delegated as it does not require specific medical training. Option C, stock management, can also be delegated to other employees as it does not involve any medical decision-making. Option D, writing a prescription, can only be done by a licensed healthcare provider, such as a doctor or nurse practitioner. Therefore, option B is the only task that cannot be delegated in a pharmacy setting.
