What this exam covers
5 real sample questions
Under federal law, how many refills may be dispensed on a valid Schedule II prescription (e.g., oxycodone)?
A. Up to 5 refills within 6 months
B. None; a new prescription is required for each fill
C. Up to 11 months from the date of issue
D. Unlimited refills if the prescriber authorizes it verbally
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: B. None; a new prescription is required for each fill

Correct: Schedule II drugs cannot be refilled under federal law; each dispensing requires a new prescription, per 21 CFR 1306.12(a).

  • A: This refill allowance applies to Schedule III-V prescriptions under 21 CFR 1306.22, not Schedule II.
  • C: Confuses Schedule II with the 12-month validity period used for some non-controlled prescriptions in certain states.
  • D: Schedule II prescriptions generally cannot be authorized verbally except in a bona fide emergency under 21 CFR 1306.11(d), and even then no refills are permitted.
Source: 21 CFR 1306.12(a)
A Schedule IV prescription for alprazolam may be refilled how many times, and within what time frame, under federal law?
A. Unlimited refills for 12 months
B. No refills permitted
C. Up to 5 refills within 6 months of the date issued
D. Up to 5 refills within 12 months of the date issued
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: C. Up to 5 refills within 6 months of the date issued

Correct: 21 CFR 1306.22 limits Schedule III-V prescriptions to 5 refills within 6 months of issuance.

  • A: Federal law caps both the number of refills and the time window; unlimited refills are never permitted for a controlled substance.
  • B: The no-refill rule applies to Schedule II, not Schedule IV.
  • D: Overstates the time window; the federal limit is 6 months, not 12.
Source: 21 CFR 1306.22
Which of the following medication classes appears on the ISMP list of high-alert medications requiring extra verification safeguards?
A. Oral antihistamines (e.g., loratadine)
B. Insulin products
C. Topical emollients
D. Multivitamins
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: B. Insulin products

Correct: insulin is a classic ISMP high-alert drug because dosing errors can cause severe hypoglycemia or death.

  • A: Antihistamines like loratadine are not high-alert; errors typically cause minimal harm.
  • C: Topical emollients carry negligible risk of serious harm from a dispensing error.
  • D: Multivitamins are low-risk OTC products, not high-alert medications.

The National Drug Code (NDC) printed on a manufacturer's stock bottle is structured as three segments identifying which of the following?
A. Labeler, product, and package size
B. Wholesaler, pharmacy, and lot number
C. Prescriber DEA number, drug schedule, and refill count
D. State board registration, expiration date, and NDC checksum
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: A. Labeler, product, and package size

Correct: the NDC's three segments identify the labeler (manufacturer/distributor), the specific product, and the package size/type.

  • B: Wholesaler and lot number are not part of the NDC structure; lot numbers are tracked separately.
  • C: The NDC has nothing to do with a prescriber's DEA number or refill count.
  • D: State board registration and expiration date are not encoded in the NDC.

Tall Man lettering (e.g., hydrOXYzine vs. hydrALAZINE) is used on drug labels and shelf tags primarily to reduce which type of error?
A. Incorrect beyond-use dating
B. Look-alike/sound-alike (LASA) drug name mix-ups
C. Improper controlled substance recordkeeping
D. Insurance claim rejections
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: B. Look-alike/sound-alike (LASA) drug name mix-ups

Correct: capitalizing distinguishing letters helps staff visually differentiate drug names that look or sound alike, reducing selection errors.

  • A: Tall Man lettering has no relationship to beyond-use dating calculations.
  • C: Controlled substance recordkeeping is governed by DEA rules, not label typography.
  • D: Tall Man lettering is a patient-safety tool, not a billing or adjudication tool.
