What should be done if a wholesale distributor identifies counterfeit drugs in their inventory?

Destroy them immediately
Report the discrepancy to the board within 10 business days
Resell them at a lower price
Return them to the pharmacy

The correct answer is: Report the discrepancy to the board within 10 business days

In this scenario, the correct answer is to report the discrepancy to the board within 10 business days (Choice B). This is the appropriate action because counterfeit drugs pose a significant risk to public health and safety. By reporting to the board promptly, appropriate measures can be taken to investigate the issue, prevent distribution of counterfeit drugs, and protect the public from potential harm. Options A, C, and D are not appropriate responses in this situation. Destroying the drugs immediately (Choice A) may eliminate the evidence needed for further investigation by regulatory authorities. Reselling counterfeit drugs at a lower price (Choice C) is illegal and unethical as it puts patients at risk. Returning them to the pharmacy (Choice D) is also not recommended as this may lead to the counterfeit drugs re-entering the legitimate supply chain.
