Which items are included in the post-closure confirmation?

• A. All legend drugs destroyed or transferred; names/addresses of who legend drugs were transferred to; DEA registration and all unused 222 forms returned to DEA; Rx labels and blanks destroyed; signage removed
• B. All legend drugs destroyed only
• C. DEA registration included
• D. Not specified

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is that post-closure confirmation covers the full, documented end-of-life steps to keep controlled and legend drugs accounted for and to prevent diversion. When a pharmacy closes, you must ensure every legend drug is either destroyed or transferred to a licensed recipient, and you keep a record of who received any transfers and where they went. You also need to return the DEA registration certificate and any unused 222 forms back to the DEA so the registration can’t be used in the future, and you must destroy all Rx labels and blanks to prevent their reuse. Finally, removing signage helps clearly indicate that the site is closed and avoids confusion or misuse. These elements together reflect the required, comprehensive closure actions, which is why that option is the best answer.
