Question

Susan knows that there are laws that govern the refilling of diazepam, which is a controlled substance. How do these laws affect Mr. Lehmke?

Answer 1

Schedule 2 pharmaceuticals include diazepam. Because of its addictive nature, this scheduling drug often does not allow refills. Mr. Lehmke may be affected because obtaining medication without a provider's order will be difficult.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exercising Pearson Physicians Group's medicine refill line is managed by Susan Schultz, CMA (AAMA). Adam Lehmke has asked for a diazepam refill. When she looks over Mr. Lemke's chart, she discovers that Dr. Penningworth wrote a prescription for diazepam three months ago with two refills, and she realizes that Mr. Lemke should still have two weeks of medication left based on the date.
