Correct answer: E — Make the CD register entry on the day of supply or next day

Schedule 2 controlled drug supplies require entries in the controlled drug register. Entries should be made on the day of supply or the next day. Accurate, contemporaneous records support accountability and audit. Recording elsewhere does not replace the CD register requirement.
