Correct answer: A — Make a controlled drug register entry for the Schedule 2 supply

Morphine is a Schedule 2 controlled drug and requires controlled drug register records when supplied. The PMR does not replace the statutory CD register. Entries must be accurate, timely and auditable. Fridge logs and private prescription records serve different purposes.
