Essential Questions:
How is the dispensing of medications influenced by laws regarding certification, licensure, and registration of pharmacy personnel?
Objectives: Students will Learning Plan & Notes to Instructor:HSE.O.PTCB.1.1 differentiate certification, licensure, and
registration.certification
process by which a non-governmental association or agency grants recognition to an individual who has met certain predetermined criteria specified by that association or agency
licensure process by which a government agency
grants permission to an individual engaged in a given occupation (i.e. pharmacist) upon finding that the applicant has attained the minimal degree of competency necessary to ensure that the public health, safety, and welfare will be reasonably well protected
usually requires written state board examination
must be renewed1
continuing education units are required for most professions
registration the process of making a list or being enrolled
in an existing list HSE.O.PTCB.1.2 determine certification requirements for the
Pharmacy Technician.Certification is the process by which a non-governmental association or agency grants recognition to an individual who has met certain predetermined qualifications specified by that association or agency. There are two parts to being a Certified Pharmacy Technician (CPhT). First, pharmacy technicians must sit for and pass the national PTCE. Once a pharmacy technician has passed the exam, he or she may use the designation of CPhT. Second, to continue to hold certification, a CPhT is required to obtain twenty hours of continuing education for recertification within two years of original certification or previous recertification. (www.ptcb.org)
HSE.O.PTCB.1.3 recognize the origin and goal of the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB).

Essential Questions:
Are the legislative rules and mandates impacting the pharmacy industry an asset to the industry?
3
Objectives: Students will Learning Plan & Notes to Instructor:HSE.O.PTCB.2.1 examine laws and legislation affecting the
pharmacy industry.1906: The Pure Food and Drug Act (PFDA)1914: The Harrison Narcotic Act1938: The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
(FFDDCA)1951: The Durham-Humphrey Amendments to the
FFDCA1962: The Kewfauver-Harris Ammendments to the
FFDCA Hazardous Substances Labeling Act1970: Poison Prevention Packaging Act1970: Controlled Substances Act1990: Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (OBRA)1990: The Anabolic Steroids Control Act1997: FDA Modernization ActHave students research each piece of legislation and determine the significance of each to the industry.
HSE.O.PTCB.2.2 recognize the importance of the Controlled Substance Act of 1970 as it relates to the manufacturing, distribution and dispensing of controlled substances based on abuse potential.
Controlled Substance Act of 1970 part of a larger piece of legislation –
Comprehensive Drug Abuse, Prevention and Control Act
enacted to improve the administration and regulation of all parties involved in the manufacturing, distribution, and dispensing of controlled substances
o Schedule Io Schedule IIo Schedule IIIo Schedule IVo Schedule V
Students should identify the potential for abuse within each classification and what drugs are within each.
HSE.O.PTCB.2.3 differentiate filing procedures, maintaining records according to State and Federal
mandated filing procedures log of controlled substances dispensed to be
4
Laws, and drug substitutuion requirements. maintained and signed daily by pharmacist DEA number required to prescribe Schedules
II-5 maintain required records x 2 years readily retrievable when federal and state laws differ, adhere to
the stricter of the two State Board of Pharmacy is the regulating
agency for pharmacists and pharmaciesHSE.O.PTCB.2.4 evaluate the mission of the Drug
Enforcement Administration.The mission of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is to enforce the controlled substances laws and regulations of the United States and bring to the criminal and civil justice system of the United States, or any other competent jurisdiction, those organizations and principal members of organizations, involved in the growing, manufacture, or distribution of controlled substances appearing in or destined for illicit traffic in the United States; and to recommend and support non-enforcement programs aimed at reducing the availability of illicit controlled substances on the domestic and international markets. (www. usdoj.gov/dea/agency/mission.htm)
HSE.O.PTCB.2.5 determine the process by which a doctor obtains a DEA Number.
The DEA Forms listed below are for those applying to DEA for a controlled substance registration:
Tax ID number and/or Social Security Number State Controlled Substance Registration
Information
State Medical License Information HSE.O.PTCB.2.6 establish the purpose of a prescriber DEA
Number.purpose
prescriber DEA number is needed for all outpatient prescriptions for controlled substances
HSE.O.PTCB.2.7 illustrate the process to determine the John Doe, MD5
validity of a DEA Number. AD0865937 Add together the first, third, and fifth digits:
0+6+9=15 Add together the second, fourth, and sixth
digits and multiply this sum by two: (8+5+3)x2=32
Add the result of steps one and two together: 15+32=47
The last digit of this sum should correspond with the ninth digit of the DEA registration number – AD0865937.
A: identifies type of prescriber D: first letter of last name

person(s) responsible for the drugStandard Number: HSE.S.PTCB.3
Medication ReviewStudents will demonstrate knowledge of drug classifications, medication dosage forms, and administration of medications.
Essential Questions:
Within the pharmacy industry, where should the parameters be established regarding the accountability of knowledge expected of Pharmacy personal (i.e. Pharmacist and Pharmacy Technician)?
Objectives: Students will Learning Plan & Notes to Instructor:HSE.O.PTCB.3.1 demonstrate basic terms and abbreviations

7
liquid dosage forms solid dosage forms therapeutic classes dependence addiction tolerance physiology
Have students define each of the terms and concepts from Medication Review (doses and terminology)
HSE.O.PTCB.3.2 differentiate chemical, generic, and trade names of drugs.
Drugs often have several names. When a drug is first discovered, it is given a chemical name, which describes the atomic or molecular structure of the drug. The chemical name is thus usually too complex and cumbersome for general use. Next, a shorthand version of the chemical name or a code name (such as RU 486) is developed for easy reference among researchers.When a drug is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA—the government agency responsible for ensuring that drugs marketed in the United States are safe and effective), it is given a generic (official) name and a trade (proprietary or brand) name. The trade name is developed by the company requesting approval for the drug and identifies it as the exclusive property of that company. For example, phenytoin is the generic name and Dilantin is a trade name for the same drug. (www.merck.com)
HSE.O.PTCB.3.3 compare dosage forms of drugs. compare semi-solid dosage forms other dosage forms liquid dosage forms solid dosage forms
