Reporting a loss of a controlled substance does NOT include notifying which of the following?

  1. Board of Pharmacy

  2. DPS

  3. DEA

  4. FDA

The correct answer is: FDA

The correct answer is D because the reporting protocols for controlled substances typically require notifying the Board of Pharmacy, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and the Department of Public Safety (DPS) in the event of a loss. These agencies are directly involved in the regulation and oversight of controlled substances and their security. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), while significant in the realms of drug approval and safety, does not play a role in the reporting of inventory discrepancies or losses involving controlled substances. Their focus lies more on the safety and efficacy of medications rather than the management of controlled substances after they are already approved and in circulation. Thus, notifying the FDA about a loss of a controlled substance is not a requirement, making it the correct response to the question.
