Arizona MPJE (Pharmacy Jurisprudence) Practice Exam

A Class I recall indicates that the use of the drug will cause:

1. Minor adverse health consequences

2. No adverse health reactions

3. Medically reversible adverse consequences

4. Serious adverse health consequences or death

The correct answer is: Minor adverse health consequences

A Class I recall is the most serious type of recall issued by the FDA. It indicates that there is a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, the recalled product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death. Therefore, the correct understanding of a Class I recall aligns with the option that describes serious adverse health consequences or death. In this case, option A, which refers to minor adverse health consequences, does not capture the severity associated with a Class I recall. The emphasis in Class I recalls is on preventing significant health risks, reflecting the potential severity of the issues that can arise from the use of the recalled product. Ultimately, understanding the classification of recalls is crucial for pharmacy practice and aligning with public health safety measures.
