Explanation:

Identify the required DEA form

Using the DEA Form 222 and Schedule II Regulations knowledge points

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) mandates the use of DEA Form 222 (or its electronic equivalent, CSOS) for the ordering, distribution, and transfer of Schedule I and Schedule II controlled substances.

Only a registered pharmacist (the registrant) or an individual granted Power of Attorney (POA) by the registrant is legally authorized to sign and complete DEA Form 222. General pharmacy staff members do not possess this authority.

• DEA Form 41, completed by a pharmacist only
• DEA Form 222, completed by any pharmacy staff member
• DEA Form 224, completed by any pharmacy staff member
