Who may be subject to disciplinary action for pharmacy technician violations?

The correct answer is the supervising pharmacists because they have a regulatory and supervisory role within the pharmacy setting. Supervising pharmacists are responsible for overseeing the actions and activities of pharmacy technicians. If a technician violates any laws, regulations, or pharmacy policies, the supervising pharmacist may face disciplinary action due to their duty to ensure compliance and proper conduct within the pharmacy.

Pharmacy managers, while accountable for the overall operation of the pharmacy, are not specifically liable for the actions of pharmacy technicians unless there is direct involvement in the violation. Similarly, pharmacy clerks typically do not hold the same regulatory responsibilities, as their roles are often more clerical and not directly related to the practice of pharmacy. Therefore, when considering who may be subject to disciplinary action for violations specifically relating to pharmacy technicians, the supervising pharmacist’s role in managing and overseeing pharmacy practice makes them the correct choice.
