Wisconsin MPJE (Pharmacy Jurisprudence) Practice Exam

Is prior approval required for an advance practice nurse to dispense medication if the facility is 30 miles away from the nearest pharmacy?

1. No, approval is not required

2. Yes, from a supervising physician

3. Yes, from the state board of nursing

4. Yes, from the facility's administration

The correct answer is: No, approval is not required

Prior approval is not required for an advance practice nurse to dispense medication if the facility is 30 miles away from the nearest pharmacy because Wisconsin law permits these nurses to dispense medications without physician, board of nursing, or facility administration approval under these circumstances. Therefore, option A is correct.
