Pharmacy PEBC Practice Exam

Which of the following is the national voluntary organization for advocacy of pharmacists and patient care?

1. Canadian Pharmacists Association

2. Canadian Patient Safety Institute

3. Institute for Safe Medication Practices

4. National Association of Pharmacy Regulatory Authorities

The correct answer is: Canadian Pharmacists Association

The Canadian Pharmacists Association (CPhA) is the national voluntary organization for advocacy of pharmacists and patient care. The CPhA represents the voice of pharmacists in Canada and works to advance the profession and improve patient outcomes through advocacy, education, and practice tools. The other options listed may also work towards patient care and safety, but they do not specifically represent pharmacists. The Canadian Patient Safety Institute focuses on promoting safe and effective healthcare for all Canadians, while the Institute for Safe Medication Practices focuses on medication safety. The National Association of Pharmacy Regulatory Authorities helps to regulate the pharmacy profession in Canada. However, none of these organizations specifically advocates for pharmacists or patient care to the extent that the CPhA does.
