Tap to reveal answer↕
Answer
A.Only in a safe bolted to the floor
B.In the same location as Schedule III-V drugs only if labeled separately
C.In any unlocked cabinet as long as the pharmacy has a security camera
D.In a securely locked cabinet of substantial construction, or dispersed throughout the non-controlled stock to reduce the likelihood of theft
DEA regulations allow Schedule II substances to be stored in a securely locked cabinet of substantial construction or dispersed among the pharmacy's other stock in a manner designed to obstruct theft. A is too narrow, since a safe is only one option. C fails because an unlocked cabinet does not meet the security standard even with cameras. B confuses schedule-based storage security with mere labeling, which is not the controlling federal requirement.
