If the pedigree of a drug cannot be authenticated, what action should be taken?

Quarantine it and report to the board within 3 days
Destroy the drug immediately
Sell it at a discounted rate
Keep using it until further notice

The correct answer is: Quarantine it and report to the board within 3 days

When the pedigree of a drug cannot be authenticated, it is essential to take the necessary precautions to ensure patient safety and compliance with regulations. Quarantining the drug and reporting to the board within 3 days is the correct course of action in such a situation. This allows for further investigation into the authenticity of the drug and prevents its distribution until its legitimacy is confirmed. Destroying the drug immediately would be wasteful and may not be necessary if the drug is found to be authentic after further examination. Selling it at a discounted rate or continuing to use it without verification poses risks to patient safety and violates regulatory requirements. Therefore, option A is the most appropriate action to take in this scenario.
