DEA - Drug Enforcement Administration Dea/Questions/Mcq 1

Question 1

Which DEA schedule applies to drugs that have a high potential for abuse but also a currently accepted medical use, with dispensing subject to severe restrictions?

Accepted Answer

Schedule II

Answer

Schedule II covers substances with high abuse potential and accepted medical use but with severe restrictions (e.g., oxycodone, fentanyl). Schedule I, by contrast, has no accepted medical use.

Question 2

Which DEA form must a registrant use to order Schedule I or Schedule II controlled substances from a supplier?

Accepted Answer

DEA Form 222

Answer

DEA Form 222 (or its electronic equivalent, CSOS) is the official order form required for transferring Schedule I and II controlled substances between registrants.

Question 3

Under DEA regulations, what is the minimum number of years a pharmacy must retain records related to dispensed Schedule II controlled substances?

Accepted Answer

2 years

Answer

21 CFR 1304.04 requires all DEA registrants to maintain records of Schedule II–V controlled substances for a minimum of two years and make them available for inspection.

Question 4

Which of the following substances is an example of a Schedule V controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act?

Accepted Answer

Cough preparations containing less than 200 mg of codeine per 100 mL

Answer

Schedule V substances have the lowest abuse potential among controlled substances; dilute codeine cough syrups (below the CSA threshold) are a classic example, in contrast to Schedules I–III drugs.

Question 5

Which federal official holds the statutory authority to add, remove, or reschedule a substance under the Controlled Substances Act?

Accepted Answer

The U.S. Attorney General

Answer

The CSA vests scheduling authority in the U.S. Attorney General, who delegates it to the DEA Administrator. The Secretary of HHS provides a binding scientific and medical recommendation, but the final legal action belongs to the Attorney General.
