What is discouraged when using Controlled Substance Act (CSA) drugs in hospitals?

Use of single dose vials
Use of prescription orders
Use of written orders
Use of multiple dose vials

The correct answer is: Use of multiple dose vials

Using multiple dose vials is discouraged when using Controlled Substance Act (CSA) drugs in hospitals because it increases the risk of contamination and medication errors. CSA drugs are highly regulated and have a potential for abuse, so it is important to use them in the safest and most controlled manner possible. Single dose vials and written/prescription orders help to ensure accurate dosing and minimize the risk of diversion or misuse. Therefore, it is important to avoid using multiple dose vials when dispensing or administering CSA drugs in a hospital setting.
