Wyoming MPJE (Pharmacy Jurisprudence) Practice Exam

Which of the following must be included on a label for an emergency supply of medication dispensed from a hospital?

1. Initials of the distributing nurse

2. Medication description

3. Rx number

4. Storage instructions

The correct answer is: Initials of the distributing nurse

All of the options listed minus A are incorrect because initials of the distributing nurse must be included on the label for an emergency supply of medication dispensed from a hospital. These labels must also include the medication description, Rx number, and any storage instructions or warnings. However, the initials of the distributing nurse are the most important as they identify who dispensed the medication, allowing for proper tracking and accountability in case of errors or adverse reactions.
