Wyoming MPJE (Pharmacy Jurisprudence) Practice Exam

What type of water supply is required in a telepharmacy?

1. Cold water only

2. Hot water only

3. No specific water supply is required

4. Hot and cold water

The correct answer is: Cold water only

In a telepharmacy, where the pharmacist may not be physically present at all times, the requirement for a water supply is minimized to reduce the risk of potential contamination of medications. Cold water is typically sufficient for the activities that may be necessary in a telepharmacy setting, such as reconstituting oral solutions or cleaning equipment. Hot water may not be necessary and could introduce additional risks and complexities without clear benefits in this kind of pharmacy setup. Therefore, opting for a cold water supply only in a telepharmacy helps to maintain a simpler and safer environment for pharmacy operations.
