What must Washington hospitals maintain for Schedule II drugs?

  1. Perpetual inventory in the pharmacy

  2. A public log accessible to all staff

  3. Electronic records only

  4. A record of acquisition only

The correct answer is: Perpetual inventory in the pharmacy

Hospitals in Washington are required to maintain a perpetual inventory in the pharmacy for Schedule II drugs. This means that they must continuously track and document the inventory of these drugs, from acquisition to dispensing. Option B is incorrect because a public log accessible to all staff would not provide the necessary level of detail and accuracy for proper record keeping. Option C is incorrect because while electronic records can be used for inventory, hospitals must also have physical records as backup in case of technology failures. Option D is incorrect because hospitals must maintain records of both acquisition and dispensing of Schedule II drugs in order to comply with state regulations.
