Question

what is the recommended action for drugs that will expire within 6 months?
dispose of them immediately.
sell them at a discount to clear inventory.
mark them with an expiration sticker to alert pharmacy staff.
mark them with a \sale\ sticker.

Explanation:

• Disposing immediately is unnecessary as they haven't expired yet.
• Selling expired or soon - to - expire drugs at a discount is unethical and may be illegal, and also unsafe for patients.
• Marking with a “sale” sticker is inappropriate as it's about expiration, not a regular sale.
• Marking them with an expiration sticker to alert pharmacy staff is the correct practice to ensure they are managed properly (e.g., used or disposed of before expiration) and to prevent accidental dispensing of expired drugs.

Answer:

C. Mark them with an expiration sticker to alert pharmacy staff.
