The manufacturer’s expiration date for a drug is 12/18, the drug is considered acceptable to dispense until which date?

12/01/2018
12/31/2018
11/30/2018
1/01/2019

The correct answer is: 12/31/2018

Since the manufacturer's expiration date for the drug is 12/18, it is acceptable to dispense the drug until the end of the month, which would be 12/31/2018. Option A, 12/01/2018, is before the expiration date and therefore not acceptable. Option C, 11/30/2018, is also before the expiration date and is even further away from it, making it an even less acceptable option. Option D, 1/01/2019, is after the expiration date and therefore not acceptable as well. The expiration date is a set date and the closest acceptable date would be the end of that month, which is represented by option B.
