Which drugs must be stored under lock in non-unit dose systems in nursing homes?

  1. Schedule II only

  2. Schedule III only

  3. Both Schedule II and III

  4. All controlled substances

The correct answer is: Schedule II only

Schedule II drugs are categorized as highly addictive, and therefore must be kept under lock at all times in non-unit dose systems in nursing homes. Schedule III drugs are not considered as addictive as Schedule II drugs are, and therefore do not need to be stored under lock in this context. Likewise, not all controlled substances are considered equally addictive and not all of them may need to be stored under lock in nursing homes, unless they fall under the Schedule II category.
