Who is the primary trustee in a community pharmacy?

The pharmacy technician
The licensed pharmacist
External storage and destruction company
All pharmacy staff

The correct answer is: The licensed pharmacist

The licensed pharmacist is the primary trustee in a community pharmacy. This is because a pharmacist is responsible for overseeing the operations of a pharmacy and ensuring the safety, efficacy, and legality of all medications being dispensed. The pharmacy technician may assist the pharmacist in their duties, but ultimately, the pharmacist is the one who carries the legal and ethical responsibility for the pharmacy. An external storage and destruction company may be utilized for medications that have expired or are no longer needed, but they are not involved in the daily operations of the pharmacy. All pharmacy staff play a role in the functioning of the pharmacy, but they do not hold the same level of responsibility as the licensed pharmacist.
