Who can use a hospital DEA number?

  1. Any registered pharmacist

  2. Only the head physician

  3. Any hospital employee with permission in course of their duties

  4. Only DEA-registered nurses

The correct answer is: Any hospital employee with permission in course of their duties

A hospital DEA number allows the hospital to manage and distribute controlled substances. This number is not limited to pharmacists or nurses. Rather, it is granted to the hospital as an institution. While pharmacists and nurses may have their own individual DEA numbers for their personal work, these numbers would not apply to the hospital as a whole. Therefore, any hospital employee with proper permission who needs to handle controlled substances in the course of their duties can use the hospital's DEA number.
