All drug administration laws are initiated, implemented, and enforced by the:

A. DEA
B. FDA
C. CDC
D. HIPAA


b
Rationale: Although it would seem that the DEA might be the correct choice, it is important to understand the distinction between the DEA and the FDA (which is the correct choice for this question). The FDA controls all drug administration laws. The DEA enforces controlled substance laws and regulations. The other choices—the CDC and the HIPAA—are incorrect because drugs are not the focus of the CDC, and HIPAA is concerned with health insurance.
