A pharmaceutical representative regularly comes to your office about once a month. Her company has introduced a new prescription nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and she has brought samples today. You overhear your receptionist ask the representative to leave some samples for her own use. If the representative leaves the samples for the receptionist, the most significant concern regarding this situation is that it does which of the following?
A) It constitutes practicing medicine without a license
B) It diverts samples intended for use by patients
C) It may constitute a liability risk
D) It promotes the use of a more expensive drug over available alternative medications
E) It provides the representative the opportunity to exert undue influence
