SECTION 1: NEBRASKA PHARMACY PRACTICE ACT &
LICENSURE (Questions 1-30)
Q1. Under Nebraska Revised Statute §38-2843, how many members compose the
Nebraska Board of Pharmacy, and what is the required professional composition?
A. 5 members; all must be licensed pharmacists [CORRECT]
B. 7 members; 5 pharmacists and 2 public members
C. 5 members; 3 pharmacists and 2 public members
D. 7 members; all must be licensed pharmacists
Rationale: Nebraska Revised Statute §38-2843 establishes a 5-member board, all of
whom must be licensed Nebraska pharmacists with at least 5 years of practice
experience. Unlike many states that include public members, Nebraska's board is
entirely pharmacist-composed. Options B, C, and D incorrectly state the number of
members or include public members.
Correct Answer: A
Q2. A pharmacist applies for licensure by reciprocity in Nebraska. According to §38-
2852, which of the following is a mandatory requirement that the applicant must
satisfy?
,A. Completion of a Nebraska-specific jurisprudence examination only
B. Licensure in good standing from another state, passage of the NAPLEX, and
completion of 1,500 intern hours [CORRECT]
C. Licensure in good standing from another state and passage of the MPJE only
D. Graduation from a Nebraska college of pharmacy and 2,000 intern hours
Rationale: §38-2852 requires reciprocity applicants to hold a license in good
standing from another jurisdiction, have passed the NAPLEX (or equivalent), and
completed at least 1,500 hours of internship. Option A omits the NAPLEX and intern
hours. Option C omits the intern hours requirement. Option D incorrectly requires
Nebraska graduation and overstates the hour requirement.
Correct Answer: B
Q3. The Nebraska Board of Pharmacy has the authority to conduct inspections of
pharmacies under §38-2848. What is the scope of this inspection authority regarding
records?
A. Only prescription records from the past 12 months
B. All records, including prescriptions, inventories, and financial documents related to
pharmacy operations [CORRECT]
C. Only controlled substance records
D. Records may be inspected only with a warrant issued by a Nebraska district court
Rationale: §38-2848 grants the Board broad inspection authority encompassing all
pharmacy records, including prescriptions, inventories, financial documents, and
personnel files, without requiring a warrant for routine inspections. Option A is too
narrow in scope and timeframe. Option C is limited to controlled substances only.
Option D incorrectly adds a warrant requirement not present in Nebraska law.
Correct Answer: B
,Q4. Under Nebraska Revised Statute §38-2854, what is the minimum continuing
education (CE) requirement for pharmacist license renewal?
A. 15 contact hours annually
B. 30 contact hours biennially, including 2 hours of pharmacy law [CORRECT]
C. 20 contact hours annually, including 3 hours of live CE
D. 40 contact hours biennially, with no specific law requirement
Rationale: §38-2854 requires 30 contact hours of CE during each two-year renewal
period, including at least 2 hours specifically in pharmacy law or jurisprudence.
Option A understates the requirement. Option C incorrectly states annual
requirements and adds a live CE component not mandated by Nebraska. Option D
overstates the requirement and omits the mandatory law CE.
Correct Answer: B
Q5. A pharmacy intern in Nebraska has completed 1,200 hours of internship. Under
§38-2851, how many total intern hours are required for pharmacist licensure?
A. 1,200 hours
B. 1,500 hours [CORRECT]
C. 1,740 hours
D. 2,000 hours
Rationale: §38-2851 requires a minimum of 1,500 hours of internship for pharmacist
licensure in Nebraska. Option A reflects the hours already completed in the scenario
but falls short of the requirement. Option C reflects the federal minimum for
graduation (1,740 hours) but Nebraska requires less. Option D exceeds the Nebraska
requirement.
Correct Answer: B
, Q6. Under Nebraska law, a pharmacist license expires and must be renewed:
A. Annually on the pharmacist's birthday
B. Biennially on December 31 of even-numbered years
C. Biennially on January 1 of the licensee's birth month [CORRECT]
D. Triennially on the anniversary of initial licensure
Rationale: Nebraska pharmacist licenses expire biennially on January 1 of the
licensee's birth month. Option A incorrectly states annual renewal. Option B
describes a fixed calendar renewal not used in Nebraska. Option D describes triennial
renewal which is not Nebraska's practice.
Correct Answer: C
Q7. The Nebraska Board of Pharmacy may deny, refuse to renew, or discipline a
pharmacist license under §38-2860 for which of the following grounds?
A. Only felony convictions related to controlled substances
B. Any felony conviction, gross incompetence, or violation of the Pharmacy Practice
Act [CORRECT]
C. Only violations occurring within Nebraska state boundaries
D. Misdemeanor traffic violations only
Rationale: §38-2860 provides broad disciplinary grounds including any felony
conviction (not limited to drug-related), gross incompetence, unprofessional
conduct, and violations of the Pharmacy Practice Act or rules. Option A is too narrow.
Option C incorrectly limits jurisdiction to Nebraska-only violations. Option D is
entirely incorrect.
Correct Answer: B
