Final answer:

An impaired pharmacist voluntarily entering a treatment contract with PRN will usually not face immediate FLBOP discipline, allowing for confidential recovery.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement is True: An impaired pharmacist who voluntarily enters into a contract for treatment with the Pharmacy Recovery Network (PRN) will generally not be referred to the Florida Board of Pharmacy (FLBOP) for discipline. The PRN program is designed to help pharmacists with impairments due to substances or mental health issues, and seeks to provide support and a pathway for recovery without the immediate necessity of disciplinary action. This allows the professionals to seek help confidentially and get back on track with their careers while ensuring the public is protected from impaired practice.
