A reverse distributor for pharmaceuticals:

  1. A. distributes pharmaceuticals to hospitals.

  2. C. transports medications from the manufacturer to the wholesaler.

  3. D. transports medications in an emergency.

  4. B. removes and disposes of pharmaceutical waste.

The correct answer is: C. transports medications from the manufacturer to the wholesaler.

A reverse distributor for pharmaceuticals is a company that takes back unused, expired, or unwanted medications from pharmacies, hospitals, and other healthcare facilities. Option A is incorrect because a reverse distributor does not distribute pharmaceuticals to hospitals, but rather collects them from hospitals. Option C is incorrect because a reverse distributor does not specifically transport medications in an emergency, but rather handles the proper disposal of medications. Option D is incorrect because a reverse distributor does not just dispose of pharmaceutical waste, but also takes back medications for proper handling and disposal. Therefore, option B is the correct answer as it accurately describes the role of a reverse distributor for pharmaceuticals.
