Washington Multistate Pharmacy Jurisprudence MPJE Practice Exam

For a new pharmacy application, to which commission should the application be submitted?

1. DEA

2. FDA

3. Pharmacy Commission

4. Health and Human Services

The correct answer is: Pharmacy Commission

The Pharmacy Commission is the regulatory body responsible for overseeing all aspects of pharmacies, including new pharmacy applications. Option A is incorrect because the DEA, or Drug Enforcement Administration, is responsible for monitoring and enforcing laws related to controlled substances. Option B is incorrect because the FDA, or Food and Drug Administration, is responsible for regulating food, drugs, medical devices, and cosmetics in the United States. Option D is incorrect because the Health and Human Services department is responsible for overseeing health services and programs, but not specifically pharmacies. Therefore, the Pharmacy Commission is the most appropriate commission for a new pharmacy application to be submitted to.
