What is the minimum number of hours per week a pharmacist must be on duty in a specialty pharmacy dispensing prescriptions 24/7?

  1. No less than 40hrs

  2. At least 30hrs

  3. 50hrs or more

  4. 20hrs, if part-time

The correct answer is: No less than 40hrs

A pharmacist must be on duty for a minimum of 40 hours per week in a specialty pharmacy that dispenses prescriptions 24/7. This is because a specialty pharmacy requires round-the-clock services to ensure timely and accurate dispensing of medications. Option B (at least 30 hours) is incorrect because it falls short of the minimum required hours for a 24/7 pharmacy. Option C (50 hours or more) is incorrect because it goes beyond the minimum requirement and is not necessary for a pharmacy that operates 24/7. Option D (20 hours, if part-time) is incorrect because even though 20 hours is the minimum required for part-time employment, a specialty pharmacy that is open 24/7 would require a full-time pharmacist, which is at least 40 hours per week.
