A loss of controlled substances must be reported to all of the following EXCEPT:

Board of Pharmacy
CDC
DEA
DPS

The correct answer is: CDC

The correct answer is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In the case of a loss of controlled substances, federal and state regulations specify that notifications must be made to certain governing bodies to ensure proper investigation and compliance with legal standards. The Board of Pharmacy is responsible for monitoring the practice of pharmacy within the state, including matters related to the handling and loss of controlled substances. Therefore, it is required to be notified. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) oversees the enforcement of controlled substances laws and regulations at the federal level. When there is a loss of controlled substances, reporting to the DEA is mandatory for compliance with federal law. The Department of Public Safety (DPS) may also need to be informed as they deal with law enforcement and regulatory issues related to controlled substances within the state. While the CDC plays a significant role in public health, they do not specifically handle reports concerning the loss or theft of controlled substances. Hence, notifying the CDC is not a requirement in such situations.
