In nursing homes, how often are physical counts required for Schedule III drugs in non-unit dose systems?

  1. Every 24 hours

  2. Weekly

  3. Monthly

  4. Only at the time of refilling

The correct answer is: Weekly

Nursing homes must conduct a physical count of Schedule III drugs in non-unit dose systems on a weekly basis. Option A, every 24 hours, is incorrect because this would require a daily physical count, which is not necessary or practical. Option C, monthly, is also incorrect because it is not frequent enough to ensure proper inventory management of these controlled substances. Option D, only at the time of refilling, is incorrect because while it is important to count the drugs when refilling them, it is not the only time a physical count should be conducted. Weekly counts provides a balance between ensuring accurate inventory and minimizing burden on staff.
