Correct answer: D — Make a dated correction or annotation that preserves the original entry according to CD record rules

Controlled drug register entries must be accurate and auditable. Corrections should not obscure the original entry and should be dated or annotated according to legal and SOP requirements. Erasure or correction fluid would undermine audit trails. Patient signatures are not used to correct register errors.
