Order Entry & ProcessingQuestion 99 of 100
Which statement is federally required on the label of a dispensed prescription for a Schedule III controlled substance?
a.Store in a locked cabinet away from other household medications
b.May cause drowsiness; use caution when operating machinery
c.Return all unused doses to the pharmacy for destruction
d.Caution: Federal law prohibits the transfer of this drug to any person other than the patient for whom it was prescribed
Explanation
Federal law requires the transfer warning on the label of any dispensed Schedule II, III or IV prescription. The drowsiness statement is a clinically useful auxiliary label but is not the federally mandated warning, and the storage and return statements are counseling points rather than label requirements.
