An understanding of controlled substances is key to safe prescribing for the Advanced Nurse Practitioner. In this presentation, the ANP will learn about state and federal laws that apply to the authority relating to prescribing controlled substances. In particular, ethical and fiscal considerations of prescribing will be considered. It is important for the ANP to understand the indications and contraindications for controlled substances—particularly Schedule II drugs. The uses of these drugs will be discussed, particularly in pediatric and geriatric populations. In addition, considerations for the prevention of abuse and diversion of controlled substances will be offered, including comments on state reporting systems and the implementation and use of prescription drug monitoring programs.
