Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a post-surgical patient who was prescribed controlled substances classified schedule IV substances as:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: having a low potential for psychological or physical dependence. Schedule IV substances have a lower potential for abuse and dependence compared to other schedules. These drugs are considered to have a relatively low risk of addiction or dependence when used appropriately. This classification is based on their recognized medical benefits and lower abuse potential.
Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they describe characteristics of substances in higher schedule categories (such as schedules I, II, or III) which have higher potential for abuse and dependence.
Therefore, the correct answer is D as it accurately reflects the classification of schedule IV substances.
