Wisconsin MPJE (Pharmacy Jurisprudence) Practice Exam

Are pharmacists required to submit PMP data if medication is directly administered to a patient?

1. No

2. Yes

3. Only for narcotics

4. Only for Schedule II drugs

The correct answer is: No

Pharmacists are not required to submit PMP (Prescription Monitoring Program) data if medication is directly administered to a patient. This is because the PMP is used to track medications that are prescribed and dispensed from a pharmacy. Since directly administered medications bypass the pharmacy, they do not need to be reported to the PMP. Options B, C, and D may seem tempting, but they are not correct because they are more specific scenarios where PMP data may be required, but not in the general case of medication being directly administered. It is important to carefully read and understand the question, as well as the choices given, when selecting the correct answer.
