NAC639.5016. Annual inspections: Review of self-assessment form; notes regarding discrepancies or deficiencies; correction of discrepancies or deficiencies.

     1. Whenever a member of the staff of the Board conducts an annual inspection of a pharmacy, the managing pharmacist of the pharmacy or the designee of the owner of the pharmacy shall provide the member of the staff of the Board with a completed self-assessment form of the pharmacy. A member of the staff of the Board conducting an annual inspection of a pharmacy shall review a self-assessment form of the pharmacy with the managing pharmacist of the pharmacy or a pharmacist on duty in the pharmacy at the time of the inspection to verify that all the information contained in the self-assessment form of the pharmacy is true and complete.

     2. If, during the annual inspection of a pharmacy, the member of the staff of the Board conducting the inspection finds any discrepancies between the information contained in the self-assessment form of the pharmacy and the actual state or condition of the pharmacy, or if the member of the staff of the Board finds any other deficiencies or conditions in the pharmacy or its operation that are not otherwise in compliance with the applicable statutes and regulations governing the operation of a pharmacy and dispensing of drugs, the member of the staff of the Board shall make a note of the discrepancy, deficiency or condition in his or her inspection.

     3. A pharmacy shall correct a discrepancy, deficiency or condition noted by a member of the staff of the Board pursuant to subsection 2 within a reasonable time, as determined by the member of the staff of the Board who noted the discrepancy, deficiency or condition. Any failure by a managing pharmacist or an owner of a pharmacy, or both, to correct a discrepancy, deficiency or condition in a timely manner as required by this subsection constitutes unprofessional conduct pursuant to subsection 4 of NRS 639.210 and may serve as the basis for such disciplinary action against the managing pharmacist or owner of the pharmacy, or both, as the staff of the Board deems appropriate.
