How much of a CIII or benzodiazepine can an NP provide in West Virginia?

≤72 hr supply with no refills
≤30 day supply with one refill
≤90 day supply with unlimited refills
No restrictions as long as within treatment guidelines

The correct answer is: ≤72 hr supply with no refills

In West Virginia, Nurse Practitioners (NPs) have specific prescribing authority regarding controlled substances, including Schedule III (CIII) medications and benzodiazepines. The regulation allows for NPs to prescribe these medications with certain limitations. The correct response indicates that an NP can provide a supply that does not exceed a 72-hour duration with no possibility of refills. This reflects the state's controlled substance regulations aimed at managing the potential for abuse while still allowing NPs to participate in patient care effectively. Other options suggest longer supply periods or unlimited refills, which are not consistent with the stringent controls imposed on controlled substances in West Virginia, particularly regarding CIII drugs and benzodiazepines. Such limitations are designed to prevent misuse and ensure that the prescribing practices remain within safe and regulated boundaries.
