Who must be notified in the event of a breach due to criminal activity involving patient records?

  1. Only the pharmacy manager

  2. Only the affected patients

  3. The College and authorities

  4. No one needs to be notified

The correct answer is: The College and authorities

If you selected A, this is incorrect because only notifying the pharmacy manager would not fulfill the legal obligations of reporting the breach to the appropriate authorities. If you selected B, this is incorrect because while the affected patients should be informed of the breach, the College and authorities must also be notified in order to properly handle the situation. If you selected D, this is incorrect because it is mandatory to report the breach to the College and authorities. Therefore, the correct answer is C as it is the most comprehensive and responsible course of action in the event of a breach involving patient records due to criminal activity.
