12. When ordering Schedule II medications, which of the following agencies receives copies of DEA Form 222?
Answer: C
Copies of DEA Form 222 are received by the DEA, supplier, and pharmacy.
When ordering Schedule II medications, the DEA, supplier, and pharmacy are the entities that receive copies of DEA Form 222. This form is crucial for tracking the distribution of controlled substances.
A) DEA, FDA, and board of pharmacy
This option is incorrect because while the DEA is indeed a recipient of DEA Form 222, the FDA does not receive copies of this form, and the board of pharmacy is not a direct recipient of the form either.
B) FDA, CDC, and pharmacy
This option is incorrect since neither the FDA nor the CDC receives copies of DEA Form 222. The pharmacy does receive a copy, but the other two agencies do not play a role in this process.
C) DEA, supplier, and pharmacy
This option is correct as the DEA, the supplier of the medication, and the pharmacy all receive copies of DEA Form 222. This ensures proper tracking and accountability for Schedule II medications.
D) DEA, FDA, and supplier
This option is incorrect because while the DEA and supplier receive copies of the form, the FDA does not. The inclusion of the FDA makes this option invalid.
Conclusion
The correct answer is C) DEA, supplier, and pharmacy because these three entities are specifically outlined in the regulations regarding the distribution of controlled substances. Other options fail to include the correct agencies involved, highlighting the importance of accurate documentation in the handling of Schedule II medications.
