Free NY-MPJE Practice Questions

Question 1

During overlapping Saturday hours, a pharmacist is the named supervising pharmacist for two separately registered community pharmacies. She remains at Pharmacy A and uses continuous video to monitor Pharmacy B, where technicians are processing prescriptions. How should this arrangement be evaluated under New York law?

Accepted Answer

It is unlawful because one pharmacist cannot concurrently supervise two pharmacies.

Answer

It is lawful if both pharmacies share common ownership and prescription records.

Answer

It is lawful when live video permits real-time communication with Pharmacy B.

Answer

It is lawful if another staff pharmacist at Pharmacy B performs final verification before every prescription leaves that location.

Question 2

At a New York pharmacy where registered-pharmacy-technician practice is authorized, an RPhT answers a physician's call, takes a new oral prescription for a noncontrolled antibiotic, and gives the transcription to the pharmacist for review. The legal defect is that the technician:

Accepted Answer

Received an oral prescription, a function reserved to a pharmacist or intern

Answer

Received a prescription without a second technician witnessing the conversation

Answer

Handled a new prescription rather than an authorization for a refill

Answer

Took the call before the pharmacist completed the prospective drug-utilization review

Question 3

At renewal, a pharmacist reports 45 approved continuing-education hours: 23 hours of self-study and 22 hours of non-self-study education. The total includes 3 hours on medication-error reduction and 3 hours on pharmaceutical compounding. The pharmacist is:

Accepted Answer

Noncompliant because self-study may not exceed 22 hours

Answer

Compliant because the total and both required subject areas are satisfied

Answer

Deficient by one hour because 46 total hours are required

Answer

Compliant only if the compounding hours are added beyond the 45-hour total

Question 4

Midshift, a staff pharmacist is slurring speech, drops a vial, and cannot reconcile the controlled-substance count. The pharmacist asks the manager to say nothing because they will contact the Professional Assistance Program after work. The manager's first action should be to:

Accepted Answer

Remove the pharmacist from patient care and controlled access, secure inventory, and follow required reporting procedures

Answer

Let the pharmacist finish noncontrolled prescriptions under observation while a technician secures all controlled stock and records the count discrepancy

Answer

Wait for the pharmacist to contact the program because participation is confidential

Answer

Send the pharmacist home without documentation unless patient harm is confirmed

Question 5

A New York veterinarian gives an owner a manually signed paper prescription for a noncontrolled antibiotic for a dog. It is otherwise complete, within veterinary scope, and the veterinarian's identity can be verified. The paper prescription should be:

Accepted Answer

Accepted for validity review because veterinary prescriptions are exempt from the e-prescribing mandate

Answer

Rejected until the veterinarian sends a direct electronic prescription through a certified system, because paper is never permitted

Answer

Converted into an electronic prescription by entering it into the pharmacy system

Answer

Replaced by a prescription faxed directly from the veterinarian

Question 6

At an initial visit for acute ankle-sprain pain, a physician electronically prescribes a 10-day supply of a Schedule II opioid. The patient is not receiving cancer, hospice, end-of-life, or palliative care. The pharmacist should:

Accepted Answer

Contact the prescriber and obtain a compliant prescription for no more than a 7-day initial supply

Answer

Dispense 10 days because the ordinary controlled-substance limit is 30 days

Answer

Dispense seven days, cancel the remaining three days, and document that New York law automatically authorizes the reduction

Answer

Refuse all opioid therapy because opioids cannot be used at an initial acute-pain visit

Question 7

A patient's insulin prescription expired eight months ago. The pharmacy is acting under the required non-patient-specific regimen. After unsuccessfully trying to reach the prescriber, the pharmacist confirms that the prescriber has not objected to emergency refills and the patient requests the same dose. New York permits the pharmacist to:

Accepted Answer

Dispense no more than a 30-day supply and notify the prior prescriber within 72 hours

Answer

Dispense a 90-day supply because the prior prescription expired within one year

Answer

Dispense one package only and obtain a replacement prescription within seven days

Answer

Decline dispensing because an expired prescription can never support emergency insulin

Question 8

A 30-year-old asks a certified New York pharmacist for an MMR vaccination. The pharmacy has a lawful non-patient-specific order, has screened for contraindications, obtained consent, provided required information, and has anaphylaxis supplies available. Under these facts, the pharmacist may:

Accepted Answer

Administer the MMR vaccine and complete the required record and reporting

Answer

Administer only after obtaining a separate patient-specific prescription

Answer

Decline because pharmacists may administer only influenza and COVID-19 vaccines

Answer

Dispense the vaccine but arrange for administration by a physician

Question 9

An established patient is picking up a newly prescribed medication. The pharmacist offers face-to-face counseling, but the patient declines and says they are in a hurry. After documenting the refusal, the pharmacist should:

Accepted Answer

Dispense the prescription if it is otherwise lawful and clinically appropriate

Answer

Withhold the medication until the patient accepts counseling or signs a separate formal waiver witnessed by another employee

Answer

Have a technician read the standard counseling script before release

Answer

Return the prescription to the prescriber because counseling was refused

Question 10

An emergency-department physician treating an unconscious patient calls the patient's pharmacy for the current medication and allergy profile. The pharmacist verifies the caller and the treatment relationship. The pharmacist may:

Accepted Answer

Provide information reasonably needed for treatment without waiting for written authorization

Answer

Require a signed patient authorization or a court order before releasing any medication or allergy information to the treating physician

Answer

Disclose only drug names because allergy data exceed the minimum necessary standard

Answer

Decline and direct the physician to obtain a court order
