Which of the following is true about controlled substances?

DEA Form 41 must be completed on the day of destruction of the controlled substance
A copy of DEA Form 41 must be submitted to the DEA prior to the destruction of controlled substances
DEA Form 222 must be completed prior to the destruction of controlled substances
A hospital DEA number is not needed for return of a controlled substance


A copy of DEA Form 41 must be submitted to the DEA prior to the destruction of controlled substances

Rationale: A copy of DEA Form 41 must be submitted to the DEA prior to the destruction of controlled substances. The DEA has modified this form, and requires that it be used to record the destruction of controlled substances that remain in a closed system of distribution, and also to account for DEA registrant destruction of controlled substances collected from users and non-registrants.
