Manitoba Pharmacy Jurisprudence Practice Exam

Where should Schedule II drugs be located in a pharmacy?

1. In the prescription service department or adjacent area

2. At the front of the store

3. In a locked cabinet

4. Anywhere in the pharmacy

The correct answer is: In the prescription service department or adjacent area

Schedule II drugs are highly regulated and have a high potential for abuse. As such, they need to be securely stored and closely monitored. This is why they should be located in the prescription service department or adjacent area, where they can be easily accessed by pharmacy staff and kept in a locked cabinet. Option B is incorrect as it suggests storing the drugs at the front of the store, which would not provide adequate security. Option D is incorrect as it does not specify a secure storage location within the pharmacy. Only Option C mentions a locked cabinet, which is a necessary feature for storing Schedule II drugs, but it does not specify where the cabinet should be located. Therefore, the best answer is A.
