Continuing education must be undertaken so pharmacists and pharmacy technicians remain on the cutting edge of new advancements in their practice. This relatively short period of licensure (before having to become relicensed) helps to ensure better quality of skills, abilities, and continuing growth of knowledge. 3) Medical facilities must comply with the Bloodborne Pathogens Standard and be able to prove their compliance to: A) CDC inspectors B) DEA inspectors C) FDA inspectors D) OSHA inspectors Answer: D Explanation: D) OSHA is the regulatory agency that inspects medical facilities and requires compliance with the Bloodborne Pathogens Standard. The other agencies listed focus on different types of regulatory activities. 4) In the United States, drug legislation began in the: A) 1700s B) 1800s C) 1900s D) 1950s Answer: C Explanation: C) Drug legislation in the United States began in the 1900s. Before that, there was little regulation for the way drugs were manufactured, tested, packaged, or sold. This correct answer rules out the "1950s" as being a possible choice because the first drug legislation occurred early in the century.
