What is the minimum period for which a new pharmacy must maintain records of prescriptions and dispensing?

1 year
2 years
5 years
3 years

The correct answer is: 2 years

The minimum period for which a new pharmacy must maintain records of prescriptions and dispensing is 2 years. This requirement is set by the DEA and is intended to ensure that the pharmacy has a complete record of all controlled substances dispensed. Option A (1 year) may seem like a reasonable choice, but may not be enough time for proper monitoring and oversight. Option C (5 years) and D (3 years) are longer periods of time and may be excessive for record keeping purposes. Therefore, the most appropriate and accurate answer is option B.
