Q1. A patient comes to the clinic for their routine follow-up. Their controlled medications include: alprazolam, carisoprodol, pregabalin, & hydrocodone. The patient states he will be visiting family in another state and expresses the concern of running out before next month’s appointment. The record indicates compliance and no suspected abuse.

Question options:
a Carisoprodol: ordering the 30-day supply and up to 5 refills
b Pregabalin: ordering an emergency supply up to 30 days when needed
c Alprazolam: ordering the 30-day supply 1 refill
d Hydrocodone: ordering an emergency supply up to 10 days when needed

b. Up to a 1-year supply, if the medication is a non-controlled substance
c. For an emergency supply, regardless of the medication
