Question

A patient comes into Pharmacy XYZ with a prescription for 30 tablets of Dexedrine 10 mg. Pharmacy XYZ only has 10 tablets of Dexedrine in stock and would like to purchase the remaining 20 tablets from Pharmacy ABC nearby. Which copy of the triplicate DEA Form 222 does Pharmacy ABC keep?

A. Brown
B. Green
C. Blue
D. Purple
E. Red

Answer 1

Pharmacy ABC keeps the green copy of the DEA Form 222 when supplying Dexedrine to Pharmacy XYZ.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a pharmacy orders controlled substances like Dexedrine from another pharmacy or supplier, they must use a DEA Form 222. The form consists of three copies, each with a different color. As per the DEA's guidelines, when Pharmacy XYZ places an order with Pharmacy ABC, they will need to complete this form. The colors represent different copies intended for different recipients: Copy 1 (brown) for the supplier, Copy 2 (green) for the DEA, and Copy 3 (blue) for the purchaser's records. In this scenario, Pharmacy ABC must keep the green copy of the triplicate DEA Form 222 when supplying the remaining 20 tablets of Dexedrine to Pharmacy XYZ. The correct answer is therefore option B. Green.
