Controlled substances, federal rules, error prevention
The federal-requirements and patient-safety knowledge on the pharmacy-technician exam. Master the Controlled Substances Act — the five schedules with stable examples, C-II ordering on DEA Form 222, the refill rules (none for C-II; up to five in six months for C-III/IV), one-time transfers, and the other DEA forms (106 theft/loss, 41 destruction) — plus the wider federal layer: OBRA-90 counseling offers, HIPAA in the pharmacy, child-resistant packaging and its exceptions, pseudoephedrine logbook mechanics, track-and-trace, REMS programs like iPLEDGE, and recall classes. Then the safety half: error-prone abbreviations and the leading-zero rule, look-alike/sound-alike drugs and tall-man lettering, high-alert medications, error types and reporting (MedWatch), technician-versus-pharmacist duties, and compounding safety basics. Aligned to the published PTCE content outline using original questions — never real exam items.
