NAPLEX (North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination) Practice Exam

Where can information on drug shortages be found?

1. ASHP

2. FDA

3. CDC

4. All of the above

The correct answer is: All of the above

The other options, ASHP, FDA, and CDC, are all reputable sources of information on drug shortages. However, none of them alone provide a comprehensive source for this information. ASHP, the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, is a professional organization that provides information on drug shortages, but their focus is primarily on hospital and health system settings. The FDA, or Food and Drug Administration, is responsible for regulating and overseeing the safety and effectiveness of medications, but their website may not always have the most up-to-date information on current drug shortages. The CDC, or Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, primarily focuses on public health and disease control, so while they may have some information on drug shortages, it may not be their main area of expertise. Therefore, the most accurate and complete source for information on drug shortages is likely to be a combination of these sources, making "All of the above" the correct answer.
