Final answer:
Federal government practitioners who wish to maintain DEA registration for private practice must be fully licensed in the state in which they are practicing, not in any state or territory.
Step-by-step explanation:
B) False
The statement is incorrect. To maintain a DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) registration for private practice, federal government practitioners must typically be licensed in the state where they intend to practice, rather than having the freedom to be fully licensed in any US state or territory.
DEA registration for prescribing controlled substances is tied to the practitioner's state license. The practitioner must hold an active state license in the state where they're prescribing controlled substances, which aligns with the DEA's regulations and requirements. Therefore, the practitioner's DEA registration is linked to their state license and is not a matter of being fully licensed in any US state or territory while maintaining a private practice and DEA registration simultaneously.
