Still the only resource of its kind, the updated edition of Essentials of Law and Ethics for Pharmacy Technicians clearly explains those laws and regulations relevant to technicians and also examines the ethical issues involved. Fully revised to cover recent developments, it presents an overview of the US legal system, reviews the development of current laws, and describes those laws affecting practice today. It incorporates a new chapter on the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act, the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act, and the new FDA regulation on controlling pseudoephedrine sales. State issues are addressed in the extensive appendices.
