Colorado Nursing Home Administrators (NHA) Practice Exam

In addition to compounding legally and controlling inventory, what else is a contract pharmacist responsible for?

1. Establishing necessary records

2. Evaluating patient satisfaction

3. Inspecting equipment maintenance

4. Determining facility management policies

The correct answer is: Establishing necessary records

In addition to compounding legally and controlling inventory, a contract pharmacist is responsible for establishing necessary records. This is important for maintaining accurate and up-to-date documentation of the medications dispensed, patient information, and other relevant details that may be required for regulatory purposes or in case of audits. Establishing necessary records helps ensure accountability, traceability, and overall compliance with legal and professional standards in pharmaceutical practice. The other options are incorrect because: - Evaluating patient satisfaction is typically the responsibility of healthcare providers such as nurses, doctors, or administrators who interact directly with patients. - Inspecting equipment maintenance is usually the responsibility of biomedical technicians or facilities management staff who ensure that equipment is functioning properly and safely. - Determining facility management policies falls under the purview of administrators or managers who are responsible for decision-making and setting policies related to the overall operation of the healthcare facility.
