    2. B. Buying an OTC product for personal use
    3. C. Delivering sealed mail for the postal service
    4. D. Reading a public drug monograph

    Answer: A

    Explanation: Utah Code § 58-17b-301(1) states: "A license is required to engage in the practice of pharmacy, telepharmacy, pharmacy technician, or dispensing medical practitioner." Therefore practicing pharmacy requires the license.

    Answer: A

    Explanation: Utah Code § 58-17b-602(1)(a) requires "the prescriber's name, address, and telephone number." The other fields are genuine professional identifiers or communication details but are not this statutory minimum set.

    Reference: Utah Code Title 58 — § 58-17b-602(1)(a)

    Answer: B

    Explanation: Utah Code § 58-17b-601(2)(c) states: "The sale or distribution of nonprescription drugs does not constitute the practice of pharmacy." Therefore it does not.

    Reference: Utah Code Title 58 — § 58-17b-601(2)(c)

    1. A. Class A retail pharmacy
    2. B. Class B institutional pharmacy
    3. C. Class C distribution pharmacy

    Answer: C

    Explanation: Utah Code § 58-17b-102(12) states: ""Class C pharmacy" means a pharmacy that engages in the manufacture, production, wholesale, or distribution of drugs or devices in Utah." Thus the facility is Class C.

    Reference: Utah Code Title 58 — § 58-17b-102(12)

Pharmacy intern is the listed individual classification.

    Reference: Utah Code Title 58 — § 58-17b-301(2)

    3. C. Sale only when the product is not adulterated or misbranded
    4. D. Sale only when storage follows manufacturer recommendations

    Answer: A

    Explanation: Utah Code § 58-17b-601(2)(b) states: "The division may not make any rules under this chapter that require nonprescription drugs to be sold by a licensed pharmacist or only in a pharmaceutical facility." The other options describe separate, generally real drug-distribution safeguards rather than this forbidden licensing restriction.

    Reference: Utah Code Title 58 — § 58-17b-601(2)(b)

    4. D. Class D, the nonresident class

    Answer: D

    Explanation: Utah Code § 58-17b-102(13) states: ""Class D pharmacy" means a nonresident pharmacy." Therefore a nonresident pharmacy is Class D.

    Reference: Utah Code Title 58 — § 58-17b-102(13)

    1. A. Medical director
    2. B. Pharmacist-in-charge
    3. C. Chief nursing officer
    4. D. Compliance attorney

    Answer: B

    Explanation: Utah Code § 58-17b-302(5) states: "Each pharmacy shall have a pharmacist-in-charge, except as otherwise provided by rule." The required position is the pharmacist-in-charge.

    Reference: Utah Code Title 58 — § 58-17b-302(5)

    2. B. Owner's name and the animal's species
    3. C. Veterinarian's school
    4. D. Animal's purchase price

    Answer: B

    Explanation: Utah Code § 58-17b-602(1)(b) requires "the patient's name and address or, in the case of an animal, the name of the owner and species of the animal." Thus the owner's name and species identify the animal case.
