Manitoba Pharmacy Jurisprudence Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

What is the protocol for daily witnessed ingestion of methadone at the pharmacy?

Quick visual check

Maintain sightline until dose is ingested

The protocol for daily witnessed ingestion of methadone at the pharmacy is to maintain a sightline until the dose is ingested. This means that the pharmacist must visually monitor the patient as they ingest the medication to ensure adherence and prevent diversion. Option A, a quick visual check, may not be sufficient enough to ensure proper ingestion. Option C, leaving it up to the pharmacist's discretion, may not provide enough consistency or accountability. Option D, allowing patients to take methadone home, goes against the concept of daily witnessed ingestion and can increase the risk of diversion or non-adherence.
