NAPLEX (North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination) Practice Exam

Which source provides medication safety information including drug recalls?

1. Crediblemeds.org

2. FDA

3. NIOSH

4. ISMP

The correct answer is: FDA

The correct answer is B. FDA. The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) is the primary federal agency responsible for regulating and overseeing drug safety in the United States. The FDA provides medication safety information, including drug recalls, to ensure the public is informed about any potential risks associated with medications on the market. Crediblemeds.org focuses more on information related to potential drug-induced arrhythmias, NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) focuses on occupational safety and health issues, and ISMP (Institute for Safe Medication Practices) primarily works on promoting safe medication practices and preventing medication errors.
