If you make a mistake on DEA Form 222 when ordering schedule II's, you can erase the mistake and correct it. Is this statement true or false?

The statement is false because any error made on DEA Form 222 cannot be corrected by erasing or altering the original document. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) requires that these forms be strictly adhered to in order to maintain the integrity of controlled substance ordering and inventory records. If a mistake occurs, the proper procedure is to void the original form and complete a new form for the order. This policy helps to prevent any potential misunderstandings or misuse of the order process and ensures clear and accurate record-keeping as mandated by federal regulations. Therefore, the answer underscores the importance of compliance with the rules surrounding the handling of controlled substances.
