Washington Multistate Pharmacy Jurisprudence MPJE Practice Exam

What must a hospital have for the administration of investigational drugs?

1. A separate pharmacy

2. A separate wing in the hospital

3. A specialized nurse

4. Additional responsibilities

The correct answer is: Additional responsibilities

Hospitals must have additional responsibilities in order to be able to administer investigational drugs. This may include specialized training for staff, proper storage and record keeping, and adhering to strict protocols and regulations. Options A and B are incorrect because while a separate pharmacy or wing may be necessary for the administration of these drugs, it is not the only requirement. Option C of a specialized nurse is also incorrect as multiple members of the hospital staff may be involved in the administration process. Therefore, the correct answer is D - additional responsibilities.
