Manitoba Pharmacy Jurisprudence Practice Exam

How is legislation related to pharmacy approved?

1. Through an international pharmacy board

2. By a simple majority of local pharmacists

3. Provincially or federally, and Manitoba regulations must be approved by members and cabinet

4. Solely by the executive committee of CPhM

The correct answer is: Provincially or federally, and Manitoba regulations must be approved by members and cabinet

Legislation related to pharmacy is typically approved at the provincial or federal level. This is because pharmacy is a regulated profession and falls under the jurisdiction of the provincial or federal government. Manitoba regulations must be approved by both members of the pharmacy profession and the cabinet, as it is a decision that affects both parties. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not involve the necessary steps and processes required for legislation approval at the provincial or federal level in Canada. Option A suggests an international board, which is not relevant to the approval process in Canada. Option B suggests a simple majority vote, which may not take into account the perspectives and considerations of all stakeholders involved in pharmacy legislation. Option D suggests sole approval by an executive committee, which may not reflect the views and opinions of a wider group of individuals in the pharmacy profession.
