B)10%
C)20%
D)25%

Answer 1

The total number of dosage units of all controlled substances distributed by a practitioner cannot exceed 20% of the total number of dosage units distributed and dispensed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of dosage units of all controlled substances distributed to DEA registrants by a practitioner during the twelve-month calendar year in which the practitioner is registered to dispense cannot exceed 20% of the total number of dosage units of all controlled substances distributed and dispensed during this time period.

This percentage is set under the regulation of controlled substances to ensure responsible distribution and prevent misuse.

The total number of dosage units of all controlled substances distributed to DEA registrants by a practitioner during the twelve-month calendar year in which the practitioner is registered to dispense cannot exceed 5% of the total number of dosage units of all controlled substances distributed and dispensed during this time period.

This regulation ensures that practitioners who are registered with the DEA to dispense controlled substances mainly perform that role and do not primarily act as distributors, thereby helping to maintain the closed system of distribution for these substances.
