Wisconsin MPJE (Pharmacy Jurisprudence) Practice Exam

Who can authorize the dispensing of samples by an advance practice nurse in Wisconsin?

1. Any physician

2. A pharmacist

3. They can do it on their own

4. A supervising nurse

The correct answer is: Any physician

In Wisconsin, only a physician can authorize the dispensing of samples by an advance practice nurse. This means that option A, which states "Any physician," is the correct answer. Option B, a pharmacist, is not the correct choice because in Wisconsin, it is specifically a physician, not a pharmacist, who can authorize the dispensing of samples by an advance practice nurse. Option C, suggesting that advance practice nurses can do it on their own, is incorrect. They need the authorization of a physician to dispense samples. Option D, a supervising nurse, is also incorrect because, as mentioned, only a physician can authorize the dispensing of samples by an advance practice nurse in Wisconsin.
