Manitoba Pharmacy Jurisprudence Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

What action must pharmacists take if refusing to dispense a medication due to moral beliefs?

Inform police

Ensure the patient can receive the medication elsewhere

Pharmacists have a legal and ethical responsibility to ensure that patients have access to necessary medications, regardless of their own personal beliefs. Therefore, refusing to dispense a medication due to moral beliefs is not an acceptable action. Option A is incorrect because involving the police is not necessary in this situation. Option C is also incorrect because reporting to the local government is not necessary or relevant. Option D is incorrect because refusing service without explanation goes against a pharmacist's responsibility to ensure patient access to necessary medication. The correct option, B, is the most appropriate and responsible course of action for pharmacists in this situation, as it ensures that the patient can still receive the medication they need.
