What type of complaints can lead to license action by the board?

The option stating that complaints from the public can lead to license action by the board is accurate because licensing boards, including those for pharmacy, are responsible for ensuring the safety and well-being of the public. When members of the public submit complaints, it often triggers an investigation into the pharmacist’s conduct or the operation of the pharmacy. This oversight is crucial to maintain professional standards and protect the interests of patients.

Complaints from the public may include reports of unethical behavior, improper dispensing practices, or other issues that may endanger patient safety or violate pharmacy laws and regulations. The board prioritizes these complaints as they provide insight into the pharmacist's adherence to the standards of practice as expected in the profession.

In contrast, anonymous reports, while they may yield some useful information, often lack the details needed for a thorough investigation. Complaints specifically from other pharmacists are also relevant but do not encompass the broader perspective that public complaints provide. Finally, complaints that do not detail incidents generally do not give the board sufficient basis to take action, as they may not provide enough context to assess the situation appropriately.
