Who is responsible for maintaining the most current policies concerning the ancillary drug supply in a nursing home?

The nursing home only
The pharmacy only
Both the pharmacy and the nursing home
The State Health Department

The correct answer is: Both the pharmacy and the nursing home

It is important to note that the management of medications and drug supply in a nursing home is a team effort between the nursing home and the pharmacy. The nursing home is responsible for ensuring that their policies and procedures align with federal and state guidelines, while the pharmacy is responsible for providing the necessary drugs and maintaining proper inventory. While the State Health Department may provide regulations and oversight, they are not solely responsible for the day-to-day operation of the ancillary drug supply in a nursing home. Option A and B are incorrect as they only represent one entity responsible for the drug supply. Option D may seem appealing as it is a governing body, but the ultimate responsibility lies with the collaboration between the nursing home and the pharmacy.
