Arizona MPJE (Pharmacy Jurisprudence) Practice Exam

How frequently should policies and procedures be reviewed in a pharmacy?

1. Annually

2. Biennially

3. Monthly

4. Quarterly

The correct answer is: Biennially

Policies and procedures should be reviewed on a biennial basis. This allows for enough time for any changes or updates to be made to the policies and procedures without reviewing them too frequently. Annually may be too frequent and could be overwhelming for pharmacy staff to keep up with. Monthly would not allow enough time for updates and could also cause confusion if changes are made too frequently. Quarterly is also too frequent and may not allow enough time to properly evaluate and update policies and procedures. Therefore, biennially is the best option for reviewing policies and procedures in a pharmacy.
