What must be done if a significant loss of controlled substances is discovered?

  1. Notify the FDA

  2. Report immediately to the DEA

  3. Initiate a pharmacy audit

  4. Place an order for replacement inventory

The correct answer is: Report immediately to the DEA

If a significant loss of controlled substances is discovered, the first step should be to report it immediately to the DEA. This is necessary because controlled substances are regulated by the DEA and any loss or theft must be reported promptly. This step takes priority over other actions such as notifying the FDA or initiating a pharmacy audit. Additionally, placing an order for replacement inventory may be necessary, but it should not be the first course of action in the event of a significant loss.
