Sample UKOMNAS PDVF Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the UKOMNAS PDVF exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1A pharmacy technician (Tenaga Vokasi Farmasi) in an Apotek receives a monthly order request from the supervising pharmacist to procure Pseudoephedrine HCl 30 mg tablets. Which type of official purchase order form (Surat Pesanan) must be prepared according to Indonesian pharmaceutical regulations?

A.Surat Pesanan Regular (SP Biasa)

B.Surat Pesanan Prekursor Farmasi

C.Surat Pesanan Narkotika (Form N-9)

D.Surat Pesanan Obat-Obat Tertentu (OOT)

Explanation: Pseudoephedrine is classified as a Prekursor Farmasi under Indonesian law (Permenkes No. 3/2015 and BPOM regulations). Procurement of pharmaceutical precursors must use a dedicated Surat Pesanan Prekursor Farmasi separate from regular drugs, narcotics, psychotropics, and OOT, signed by the Apoteker Penanggung Jawab Apotek (APA) with their SIPA number.

2A shipment of rapid-acting insulin flexpens and Hepatitis B recombinant vaccines arrives at a community health center (Puskesmas). According to Farmakope Indonesia and BPOM Cara Distribusi Obat yang Baik (CDOB) guidelines, at what temperature range must these cold chain products be stored?

A.2°C to 8°C (chilled cold chain)

B.-20°C to -10°C (frozen)

C.8°C to 15°C (cool room)

D.15°C to 25°C (controlled room temperature)

Explanation: Thermolabile biological products including unopened insulin and most routine vaccines must be stored in a dedicated pharmaceutical refrigerator at 2°C to 8°C (cold chain storage). Freezing temperatures (<0°C) denature protein structures and permanently destroy aluminum-adsorbed vaccine potency, while temperatures above 8°C lead to accelerated thermal degradation.

3A pharmacy technician receives a shipment of Amoxicillin 125 mg/5 mL dry syrup from an authorized pharmaceutical distributor (PBF). What is the FIRST verification step the technician must perform prior to signing the delivery receipt (faktur / surat jalan)?

A.Immediately calculate the Apotek's retail selling price (Harga Jual Apotek) for the products

B.Store the bottles directly onto the customer-facing retail dispensing shelves

C.Verify the physical goods match the delivery document in item name, strength, quantity, batch number, expiration date, and packaging seal integrity

D.Enter the purchase total into the financial accounting ledger without opening the cartons

Explanation: According to BPOM CDOB and standard receiving standard operating procedures (SOP), the technician must verify that the physical delivered items match the delivery invoice (faktur) in name, dosage form, strength, quantity, batch number, and expiration date, while ensuring seal and packaging integrity. Signing the delivery note signifies legal transfer of liability, so verification must always precede acceptance.

4In maintaining pharmacy inventory control, what information MUST be recorded on a manual or electronic stock card (kartu stok) each time a medicine is received or dispensed?

A.Only the name of the pharmacy technician on duty and the wholesale purchase discount percentage

B.The prescriber's medical school graduation year and patient insurance membership category

C.The chemical structure formula of the active ingredient and standard wholesale list price (HNA)

D.Transaction date, source/destination, quantity received, quantity issued, remaining balance, batch number, and expiration date

Explanation: Under Permenkes No. 73/2016 and CDOB guidelines, every stock card (kartu stok) must maintain traceability by recording the transaction date, origin/destination document number, quantity in/out, remaining physical balance, batch number, and expiration date. This ensures inventory accountability, batch traceability during recalls, and verification during physical stock counts (stock opname).

5A community pharmacy has two inventory batches of Paracetamol 500 mg tablets: Batch A was received on January 10, 2026, with an expiration date of December 2027; Batch B was received on March 15, 2026, with an expiration date of October 2026. Under the FEFO (First Expired, First Out) inventory control principle, which batch must be dispensed first?

A.Batch A, because it was delivered to the pharmacy first according to the FIFO principle

B.Batch B, because its expiration date is earlier, regardless of when it was delivered

C.A mixture of equal tablets taken from both Batch A and Batch B simultaneously

D.Whichever batch has the higher manufacturer wholesale acquisition cost (HNA)

Explanation: The FEFO (First Expired, First Out) inventory management rule mandates that medicines with the shortest remaining shelf life (earliest expiration date) are dispensed first to prevent drug obsolescence and financial loss. Even though Batch B arrived later than Batch A, Batch B expires in October 2026 while Batch A expires in December 2027, making Batch B the mandatory priority.

6A hospital pharmacy technician is organizing stock on the inpatient pharmacy shelves. Cefotaxime 1 g injection and Ceftriaxone 1 g injection have identical vial sizes, typography, and packaging colors. What risk reduction strategy is REQUIRED for such Look-Alike Sound-Alike (LASA / NORUM) medications?

A.Apply LASA warning labels, use Tall-Man lettering (e.g., CefoTAXime and CefTRIAXone), and physically separate their storage locations

B.Store both products in the same bin sorted alphabetically to make retrieval faster

C.Transfer all vials from their original boxes into unlabelled transparent plastic cups

D.Dispense both products interchangeably because both are third-generation cephalosporins

Explanation: Patient safety standards established by Kemenkes and hospital accreditation (KARS/JCI) require that Look-Alike Sound-Alike (LASA / NORUM) items have distinct visual identifiers such as LASA warning stickers, Tall-Man lettering to highlight differentiating syllables, and physical separation on shelves to prevent selection errors during high-stress dispensing.

7In a hospital pharmacy, concentrated Potassium Chloride injection (KCl 7.46% / 1 mEq/mL) is categorized as a High-Alert medication. According to clinical pharmacy safety guidelines, where and how must concentrated electrolytes be stored?

A.In general inpatient bedside drawers for immediate nurse access during cardiac emergencies

B.In the hospital cafeteria emergency first-aid kit

C.Exclusively in the central pharmacy with clear High-Alert warning labels and restricted access, with minimal or no floor stock in standard wards

D.On open shelves in the hospital hallway next to normal saline bags

Explanation: Concentrated electrolyte solutions such as Potassium Chloride 7.46% are high-alert medications capable of causing fatal cardiac arrest if administered undiluted as an IV bolus. National safety regulations restrict concentrated electrolytes to the central pharmacy or tightly controlled critical units (e.g., ICU/ICCU) under double-check protocols, strictly banning them from general floor stock.

8An Apotek plans procurement of Captopril 25 mg tablets using the consumption method (metode konsumsi). The average monthly consumption is 1,200 tablets, the procurement lead time is 0.5 months (15 days), and the established safety stock is 400 tablets. What is the calculated Reorder Point (ROP)?

A.600 tablets

B.800 tablets

C.1,600 tablets

D.1,000 tablets

Explanation: The Reorder Point (ROP) formula in pharmaceutical inventory management is: ROP = (Lead Time Consumption) + Safety Stock. With an average consumption of 1,200 tablets/month and a lead time of 0.5 months, the lead time demand is 0.5 × 1,200 = 600 tablets. Adding the safety stock of 400 tablets yields: ROP = 600 + 400 = 1,000 tablets. When stock reaches 1,000 tablets, a new order must be placed.

9Under Indonesian BPOM Regulation on the Supervision of Specific Medicines Prone to Abuse (Obat-Obat Tertentu / OOT), which of the following active ingredients requires a dedicated Surat Pesanan OOT for commercial procurement?

A.Tramadol HCl

B.Paracetamol

C.Cefadroxil

D.Cetirizine

Explanation: Under BPOM regulations (Peraturan BPOM No. 10/2019 and revisions), Obat-Obat Tertentu (OOT) are pharmaceutical substances prone to abuse and addiction, specifically Tramadol, Trihexyphenidyl, Chlorpromazine, Amitriptyline, Haloperidol, and Dextromethorphan. Procurement requires a dedicated Surat Pesanan OOT signed by the pharmacist.

10A community pharmacy needs to dispose of expired, solid oral non-controlled medications (antibiotic and antihypertensive tablets). According to Permenkes No. 73/2016, which procedural requirement MUST be observed during medicine destruction (pemusnahan obat)?

A.Dispose of all intact blister packs directly into municipal street trash dumpsters at midnight

B.Destroy the medication formulation and deface packaging, witnessed by an authorized official and documented with an official Berita Acara Pemusnahan

C.Crush the tablets and pour them directly into the public storm sewer without any documentation

D.Sell the expired tablets at a steep discount to local animal farms

Explanation: Permenkes No. 73/2016 stipulates that destruction of expired or damaged pharmaceuticals in an Apotek must render them unusable, deface labels and packaging, be witnessed by an authorized officer from Dinas Kesehatan and/or Balai POM, and be formally documented in an official Berita Acara Pemusnahan Obat with signed copies submitted to regulatory bodies.
