Arkansas Pharmacy Laws and Regulations Practice Exam

How are recipients of donated drugs from a redispensing program protected legally?

1. They must sign a waiver of liability

2. They can sue the original donor

3. They cannot sue donors or the clinic

4. They are provided with insurance by the clinic

The correct answer is: They cannot sue donors or the clinic

Recipients of donated drugs are protected legally through the Good Samaritan Food Donation Act, which protects donors from legal liability if a recipient becomes ill or suffers harm from the donated drugs. This means that recipients cannot sue donors or the clinic for any harm caused by the donated drugs, as long as the donors did not intentionally harm or misrepresent the drugs. Option A and D are incorrect because they suggest that recipients must sign a waiver or provided with insurance, which is not a legally required process for redispensing programs. Option B is incorrect because it suggests that recipients can sue the original donor, which goes against the protection provided by the Good Samaritan Food Donation Act. Therefore, the most accurate answer is C.
