Option C, because who wants to be the one to accidentally dispense an expired medication? That's a lawsuit waiting to happen, am I right?

D? Really? Last in, first out? Is this a trick question or something? I'm going with C, the good old-fashioned stock rotation.

Hmm, I'd say A is the safe bet. Verifying each lot number is time-consuming, but it's the surest way to catch any expired meds.

I agree with Narcisa, because by rotating stock, you ensure that the oldest medications are used first.
