Which of the following actions is the NCBOP NOT permitted to take on a license?

The North Carolina Board of Pharmacy (NCBOP) has the authority to regulate pharmacy practice within the state, which includes several disciplinary actions against licenses. Options such as issuing a letter of reprimand, suspending a license, and revoking a license are all actions that fall within the purview of the NCBOP. These actions are designed to uphold the standards of pharmacy practice and ensure public safety.

In contrast, the NCBOP does not have the authority to impose a fine as a means of discipline. While fines can be a tool in other regulatory or enforcement contexts, they are not typically a permissible action for the NCBOP regarding pharmacy licensing. The NCBOP focuses on corrective actions that can include license limitations, suspensions, or revocations based on a pharmacy licensee’s conduct or practice violations. This distinction highlights the NCBOP's role in maintaining professional standards without relying on monetary penalties.
