Arizona MPJE (Pharmacy Jurisprudence) Practice Exam

A Class III recall indicates that the use of the drug will:

1. Likely cause minor adverse reactions

2. Not likely cause adverse health reactions

3. Always lead to serious adverse effects

4. Result in irreversible health effects

The correct answer is: Likely cause minor adverse reactions

A Class III recall is issued for products that are not likely to cause any adverse health effects, meaning that while a recall is necessary, the risk posed by the product is minimal. This typically pertains to issues with the drug that may involve slight deviations from production standards or labeling errors that do not pose a significant threat to patient health. The correct answer highlights that while there may be the potential for minor adverse reactions, overall, these are not considered serious and would not typically result in major health issues for patients. A Class III recall can still be crucial for ensuring product quality and consumer safety, but it reflects a lower level of concern compared to Class I and Class II recalls, which correspond to more serious health risks. Other choices mention serious adverse effects or irreversible health issues, which do not align with the definition of a Class III recall. The emphasis here is on the minimal risk associated with the use of the drug involved in such a recall.
