Washington Multistate Pharmacy Jurisprudence MPJE Practice Exam

From which locations can providers prescribe legend drugs valid in Washington?

1. Any US state or territory

2. British Columbia only

3. British Columbia and US states

4. US states, but not territories

The correct answer is: British Columbia and US states

Legend drugs can be prescribed valid in Washington from both British Columbia and US states, making option A, B and D incorrect choices. Option A is incorrect because legend drugs are regulated on a country-by-country basis and therefore cannot be prescribed valid in Washington from any US state or territory. Option B is incorrect because while British Columbia is a close neighbour to Washington and has a similar healthcare system, any prescriptions made in British Columbia would not be valid outside of Canada. Additionally, option D is incorrect because providers can prescribe legend drugs from both US states and territories to be valid in Washington, as long as the drugs are approved by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA).
