If an error is made when writing in a drug to order on line 4 of DEA Form 222, which of the following is an appropriate way to correct the mistake?
  1. Write over the mistake to correct it
  2. Cross it out to void it, then write the product you would like to order on the next line
  3. White out over the mistake then write what you need over it
  4. None of the above
Explanation
Answer: B - If the mistake is made when entering a product you would like to order on a DEA Form 222 on lines 1-9, you can cross out the erroneous entry, and write the correct product on the next line. If it is on line 10, it can only be crossed out, as this is the last line available on the form. Whiting out or writing over mistakes is considered an alteration, which would void the entire form.
