Which of the following medications does not need to be counted by hand during the biennial controlled substance inventory (consider all package sizes <1000 units)?
  1. Morphine
  2. Hydromorphone
  3. Lorazepam
  4. Concerta
Explanation
Answer: C - Lorazepam, a schedule IV controlled substance, does not need to be counted by hand for the biennial controlled substance inventory, if the package size is less than 1000 tablets. If the package size was greater than 1000 tablets and the package was open, then it would need to be counted by hand. The other medications are Schedule II controlled substances, and need to be counted by hand.
