How must wastage of Schedule II drugs be dealt with in Washington hospitals?

  1. Logged and reported to the DEA

  2. Must be witnessed

  3. Can be disposed of without witness

  4. Returned to the manufacturer

The correct answer is: Must be witnessed

Wastage of Schedule II drugs in Washington hospitals must be witnessed, as directed by state law. Option A is incorrect because while wastage must be logged and reported to the DEA, that alone is not sufficient according to state law. Option C is incorrect because there must be a witness present when disposing of Schedule II drugs. Option D is incorrect because Schedule II drugs cannot be returned to the manufacturer unless specific requirements are met and approved by the DEA. Therefore, the only correct option is B, which states that wastage must be witnessed.
