Pharmacy Technician Certification Board Practice Exam Practice Question

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Pharmacies are required to order controlled substances using the Controlled Substance Ordering System (CSOS) or a paper equivalent for Schedule II drugs. Morphine, classified as a Schedule II controlled substance, mandates this protocol to ensure strict regulation and monitoring of its distribution due to its potential for abuse and addiction.

In contrast, Carisoprodol (A) and Tramadol (B) are Schedule IV and Schedule III substances, respectively, which do not require the same ordering process. Buprenorphine (D), while a Schedule III drug, has specific regulations but does not fall under the same stringent ordering requirements as Schedule II substances.
