Professional samples should be dispensed as soon as the pharmacy receives them to prevent them from expiring

Rationale: The TJC, in relation to hospital pharmacies, does not mandate that professional samples should be dispensed as soon as the pharmacy receives them to prevent them from expiring, because professional samples are not permitted to be accepted. The TJC does prefer unit-doses, correct stocking methods, and proper aseptic preparation of IV admixtures.
