What schedule of drugs can optometrists prescribe in Washington state?

  1. II

  2. II and III

  3. III, IV, and V

  4. I and II

The correct answer is: III, IV, and V

Optometrists in Washington state are allowed to prescribe schedule III, IV, and V drugs. These include medications such as antibiotics, antihistamines, and anti-inflammatory drugs. Option A, II, is incorrect because schedule II drugs are considered highly addictive and have a high potential for abuse, therefore optometrists are not authorized to prescribe them. Option B, II and III, is also incorrect because optometrists are not allowed to prescribe schedule II drugs. Option D, I and II, is also incorrect as optometrists cannot prescribe schedule I drugs, which have a high potential for abuse and no accepted medical use. Therefore, the correct answer is C, which lists the schedules of drugs that optometrists in Washington state are authorized to prescribe.
