A patient brings in a prescription for OxyContin on a Friday morning, but you do not have enough in stock. The earliest you would be able to get another supply would be on Tuesday evening. Can you dispense a partial supply and dispense the remainder on Tuesday evening?
  1. Yes, as long as you document how many you gave the patient on Friday and Tuesday
  2. No, Tuesday evening is not within the 72 hour window in which the remainder of a partial must be filled
  3. No, if you give the patient some on Friday, they must get a new prescription for any remaining fills
  4. B and C
Explanation
Answer: D - You cannot fill a partial prescription for OxyContin on Friday morning and fill the remainder on Tuesday evening. If you fill a partial prescription for a schedule II controlled substance, the remainder must be filled within 72 hours. If a partial is given and the remainder cannot be filled within 72 hours, a new prescription must be given to the patient.
