Question: 1 / 445

What must be reported to the DEA regarding controlled substances in a hospital?

Annual financial reports

Quarterly medication error rates

Significant losses and daily dispense logs

In a hospital setting, controlled substances are highly regulated and monitored by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). This means that any significant losses or discrepancies in the organization's daily dispense logs must be reported to the DEA. This includes any issues with theft, diversion, or improper handling of controlled substances. Items A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not pertain to the regulation and reporting of controlled substances in a hospital. Annual financial reports may be important for legal and financial purposes, but they do not directly involve controlled substances. Quarterly medication error rates and patient satisfaction surveys may be important for tracking and improving overall patient care, but they do not specifically relate to the handling and reporting of controlled substances.
