Pharmacy Technician Certification Exam Practice Question

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Pregnant pharmacy staff should avoid contact with crushed or broken tablets of finasteride due to its potential teratogenic effects, which can adversely affect fetal development, particularly in male fetuses.

Furosemide (A) is a diuretic with limited risk in pregnancy when used appropriately. Fluoxetine (C), an SSRI, has some associated risks but is generally deemed safer than finasteride. Famotidine (D), an H2 antagonist, poses minimal risk during pregnancy. Thus, finasteride stands out as the most critical medication to avoid due to its specific risks to fetal health.
