West Virginia MPJE (Pharmacy Jurisprudence) Practice Exam

What must be included on the label if the med pak allows for the removal/separation of intact containers?

1. Contents and serial number of each container

2. Label identifying each drug inside

3. Patient’s insurance details

4. Pharmacist's signature

The correct answer is: Contents and serial number of each container

When dealing with a med pak that allows for the removal/separation of intact containers, the label must include the contents and serial number of each container. This is important because it allows for proper identification and tracking of each individual medication within the med pak. Option B may seem like a viable choice, but it only identifies the drugs inside, not the containers themselves. Option C is irrelevant as it pertains to the patient's insurance, not the medication. Option D is also incorrect as a pharmacist's signature is not necessary unless the medication requires a signature upon dispensing.
