Manitoba Pharmacy Jurisprudence Practice Exam

For how many years must electronic records be kept in a hospital pharmacy?

1. 2 years

2. 5 years

3. 7 years

4. 10 years

The correct answer is: 7 years

Electronic records in a hospital pharmacy must be kept for a minimum of 7 years. This is to ensure that there is a complete and permanent record of all pharmacy activities, including dispensing, compounding, and patient medication profiles. Option A (2 years) and B (5 years) are too short for a complete record, while Option D (10 years) may be excessive and unnecessary for most records.
