How often are E-kits inspected by pharmacists for integrity and expired medications?

Weekly
Monthly
Quarterly
Annually

The correct answer is: Monthly

E-kits, which are emergency medication kits, require regular inspections to ensure that the medications within them are intact and have not expired. The regulation mandates that pharmacists conduct these inspections on a monthly basis. This frequency helps maintain patient safety by ensuring that all medications are effective and safe to use when needed in emergency situations. If inspections were conducted less frequently, such as quarterly or annually, there might be a longer period during which expired or compromised medications could remain in the kit, posing risks to patient care. Regular monthly checks help mitigate these risks and ensure the readiness of emergency resources.
