A pharmacist may partially fill a Schedule II prescription because the pharmacy lacks enough stock. If the remainder is not supplied within 72 hours, the pharmacist must:

  1. Notify the prescriber and stop Correct answer.
  2. Void it and notify DEA
  3. Transfer it to another pharmacy
  4. Fill it within 30 days

Explanation

When a partial fill is due to insufficient pharmacy stock, the remainder must be supplied within 72 hours. If it is not, the pharmacist must notify the prescriber and may not supply the remainder without a new prescription.

Question 26Federal and Utah legal framework for pharmacy practice (statutes, administrative rules, board authority)

A DEA-registered pharmacy is issued a new DEA registration. Unless surrendered or revoked earlier, how long is that registration valid before renewal is required?

  1. Every 2 years
  2. Every 3 years Correct answer.
  3. Every year
  4. Every 5 years

Explanation

DEA registrations are issued for a fixed three-year term. The registrant must submit a renewal before the expiration date to continue handling controlled substances. A shorter or longer renewal cycle does not apply to standard pharmacy registrations.

Question 27Federal and Utah legal framework for pharmacy practice (statutes, administrative rules, board authority)

  4. The 6 years before the request Correct answer.

Explanation

HIPAA gives patients the right to receive an accounting of certain disclosures made during the six years before the request. Disclosures for treatment, payment, and health care operations are generally excluded from the accounting. The pharmacy may use a shorter look-back period only if the patient agrees.

Question 29Federal and Utah legal framework for pharmacy practice (statutes, administrative rules, board authority)

  2. 24 hours
  3. 5 days
  4. 7 days Correct answer.

Explanation

Federal law permits an emergency oral Schedule II prescription when the pharmacist makes a good-faith effort to verify the prescription and the prescriber delivers a written prescription within seven days. If the written prescription is not received within that period, the pharmacist must notify DEA. The emergency quantity is limited to the amount needed during the emergency period.

Question 30Federal and Utah legal framework for pharmacy practice (statutes, administrative rules, board authority)

  1. The local health department
  2. The Utah Board of Pharmacy
  3. The DOPL director Correct answer.
  4. The Utah Attorney General

Explanation

Utah professional licensing boards, including the Board of Pharmacy, advise and make recommendations, but final licensing and disciplinary authority rests with the director of the Division of Professional Licensing. The board does not itself impose the final discipline on a license. Local health departments and the Attorney General do not hold that licensing authority.

Question 31Licensure, registration, certification, and renewal of pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and pharmacies

Which individual is authorized under Utah law to independently dispense prescription drugs to a patient?

  1. A pharmacist with a current Utah license Correct answer.
  2. A pharmacy technician with five years of experience

Question 32Licensure, registration, certification, and renewal of pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and pharmacies

Which entity serves as the advisory board to DOPL on pharmacy licensing and practice issues?

  1. The Utah Board of Pharmacy Correct answer.
  2. The Utah Medical Board

Question 33Licensure, registration, certification, and renewal of pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and pharmacies

A Utah company wants to open a second retail store that will dispense prescriptions. What license must the new store obtain before dispensing?

  1. No additional license if the same owner operates it
  2. A pharmacist license for the store manager
  3. Only a federal DEA registration
  4. Its own Utah pharmacy license Correct answer.

Explanation

A Utah pharmacy license is issued for a specific location, so each new location that dispenses prescriptions must be licensed. A DEA registration is separate and does not replace the state pharmacy license.

Question 34Licensure, registration, certification, and renewal of pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and pharmacies

Which credential does Utah generally require before an individual may work as a pharmacy technician?

  1. A DEA registration number
  2. A passing score on NAPLEX
  3. A doctor of pharmacy degree
  4. A license issued by DOPL Correct answer.

Explanation

Pharmacy technicians in Utah are licensed by DOPL and must meet the applicable licensure requirements. A PharmD, NAPLEX score, or DEA number is not the credential for technician practice.

Question 35Licensure, registration, certification, and renewal of pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and pharmacies

To renew an active Utah pharmacist license, the licensee generally must complete:

  1. The NAPLEX again
  2. Division-required continuing education Correct answer.
  3. A second undergraduate degree in pharmacy
  4. A new pharmacy residency program

Explanation

Utah pharmacist renewal requires continuing education and other renewal requirements set by the Division. License renewal does not require repeating pharmacy school, residency, or the NAPLEX.

Question 36Licensure, registration, certification, and renewal of pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and pharmacies

Where should a licensed Utah pharmacy keep its pharmacy license available?

  1. At the licensed pharmacy location Correct answer.
  2. In the state capital archive
  3. With the county health department office
  4. Only in the owner's home

Explanation

A pharmacy license must be available at the licensed pharmacy location it authorizes. Keeping it only off-site or with another agency does not satisfy the license display and inspection expectations.

Question 37Licensure, registration, certification, and renewal of pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and pharmacies

What happens to a Utah pharmacy license if the licensee never renews it?

  1. It converts to a technician license
  2. It remains active permanently
  3. It automatically transfers to the next owner
  4. It expires and cannot be used to operate Correct answer.

Explanation

A Utah pharmacy license must be renewed to remain active; if it is not renewed, it expires. An expired license cannot be used to operate the pharmacy and does not transfer automatically.

Question 38Licensure, registration, certification, and renewal of pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and pharmacies

Utah pharmacy license applications must identify which pharmacist?

  1. The designated pharmacist-in-charge Correct answer.
  2. Any pharmacist who ever worked there
  3. A pharmacist employed by the wholesaler
  4. The pharmacist with the highest salary

Explanation

A licensed pharmacy must have a designated pharmacist-in-charge who is responsible for compliance with pharmacy law. The PIC is not simply any pharmacist who has worked at the site.

Question 39Licensure, registration, certification, and renewal of pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and pharmacies

A Utah pharmacy is sold to a new corporation. What is required for the new corporation to continue dispensing?

  1. Continue using the seller's license until it expires
  2. Obtain a new pharmacy license before operating Correct answer.
  3. Notify patients only
  4. File a DEA change form only

Explanation

A pharmacy license is not transferable with the sale of a business, so the new owner must obtain its own pharmacy license before operating. Using the seller's license or relying only on a federal form is not sufficient.

Question 40Licensure, registration, certification, and renewal of pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and pharmacies

A licensed Utah pharmacy plans to move to a different street address in the same city. The pharmacy should:

  1. Notify DOPL and update the license Correct answer.
  2. Wait until the next renewal to report the move
  3. Continue using the existing license unchanged
  4. Post a sign at the old location only

Explanation

Because a pharmacy license is tied to a specific location, a move requires notifying DOPL and updating the license status for the new address. The pharmacy should not continue operating under the old location's license without addressing the change.

Question 41Licensure, registration, certification, and renewal of pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and pharmacies

When a Utah pharmacy changes its pharmacist-in-charge, the pharmacy must:

  1. Notify DOPL and identify the new PIC Correct answer.
  2. Obtain a new DEA registration automatically
  3. Surrender its pharmacy license
  4. Close for 30 days

Explanation

A change of pharmacist-in-charge must be reported to DOPL and the new PIC identified. The pharmacy license itself is not surrendered merely because the PIC changes.

Question 42Licensure, registration, certification, and renewal of pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and pharmacies

A student enrolled in a college of pharmacy who will gain practice experience in a Utah pharmacy generally must:

  1. Register with DEA as a practitioner
  2. Have no credential until graduation
  3. Be registered as a pharmacy intern Correct answer.
  4. Hold a technician license only

Explanation

Students gaining pharmacy practice experience in Utah generally must be registered or licensed as pharmacy interns. Intern status allows supervised practice before pharmacist licensure.

Question 43Licensure, registration, certification, and renewal of pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and pharmacies

A pharmacist licensed in another state wants to become licensed in Utah by endorsement. Which statement is most accurate?

  1. Utah must issue a license to any out-of-state pharmacist on request
  2. Utah may license based on equivalent credentials Correct answer.
  3. Utah requires the pharmacist to repeat all pharmacy school coursework
  4. Utah allows practice immediately while the application is pending

Explanation

Utah may grant licensure by endorsement when the applicant meets equivalent credential and licensure requirements, but licensure is not automatic. An applicant may not practice in Utah while the application is pending.

Question 44Licensure, registration, certification, and renewal of pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and pharmacies

A pharmacist's Utah license expires on September 30, and the pharmacist continues dispensing in October without renewing. This is:

  1. Allowed because licenses have a grace period
  2. Unlawful practice without a current license Correct answer.
  3. Allowed if a technician supervises
  4. Allowed if the renewal fee is paid later

Explanation

Practicing pharmacy after a license expires is unlawful unless the license has been properly renewed or reinstated. A technician cannot supervise a pharmacist or authorize practice without a current license.

Question 45Licensure, registration, certification, and renewal of pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and pharmacies

Which action by a Utah pharmacist would most clearly fall within unprofessional conduct?

  1. Dispensing a prescription while impaired by alcohol Correct answer.
  2. Refusing to dispense without a valid prescription
  3. Completing extra continuing education
  4. Attending a national pharmacy meeting

Explanation

Practicing pharmacy while impaired is unprofessional conduct and poses a direct patient safety risk. Attending education or refusing to dispense without a valid prescription does not by itself constitute unprofessional conduct.

Question 46Licensure, registration, certification, and renewal of pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and pharmacies

A Utah pharmacist should retain documentation of completed continuing education because:

  1. The licensee may need to verify CE Correct answer.
  2. Only employers may review CE
  3. CE certificates replace the license
  4. DOPL never audits CE

Explanation

Licensees may be required to verify continuing education compliance, so documentation should be retained. CE records do not replace the license and are not reviewed only by employers.

Question 47Licensure, registration, certification, and renewal of pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and pharmacies

Which statement best describes a Utah pharmacy technician's role?

  1. The technician assists under pharmacist supervision Correct answer.
  2. The technician may substitute for the pharmacist-in-charge
  3. The technician may finalize prescriptions without pharmacist review
  4. The technician may independently counsel patients

Explanation

Pharmacy technicians assist pharmacists while the pharmacist retains responsibility for dispensing and patient care. Technician duties do not include independent counseling or finalizing prescriptions without pharmacist review.

Question 48Licensure, registration, certification, and renewal of pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and pharmacies

A Utah pharmacy that permanently closes must:

  1. Transfer its license to the landlord
  2. Keep dispensing until the license expires
  3. Notify DOPL and account for prescription records Correct answer.
  4. Destroy all licenses without notice

Explanation

A closing pharmacy must notify DOPL as required and address prescription records and related patient-care obligations. The pharmacy license cannot be transferred to a landlord or used after closure.

Question 49Licensure, registration, certification, and renewal of pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and pharmacies

Which statement about a Utah pharmacy license is correct?

  1. It may be used at any location owned by the same person
  2. It is location-specific and not freely transferable Correct answer.
  3. It may be loaned to another pharmacy
  4. It may be sold with the business inventory

Explanation

A pharmacy license authorizes a specific licensee at a specific location and is not freely transferable. It cannot be sold as inventory, loaned, or used at another location.

Question 50Licensure, registration, certification, and renewal of pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and pharmacies

Utah may require an applicant for pharmacist licensure to submit fingerprints in order to:

  1. Determine the applicant's pharmacy school ranking
  2. Set the applicant's CE requirement
  3. Assign the applicant a DEA number
  4. Conduct a criminal background check Correct answer.

Explanation

Fingerprints may be used by DOPL to conduct a criminal background check as part of the licensure process. They are not used to rank schools, set CE hours, or assign DEA numbers.
