How long must hospitals keep narcotic records? (Given the standard is different for pharmacies)

  1. The same as pharmacies, 7 years

  2. 5 years

  3. 3 years

  4. 10 years

The correct answer is: The same as pharmacies, 7 years

Hospitals must keep narcotic records for the same amount of time as pharmacies, which is 7 years. This is to ensure that all important information related to medication use and administration is retained for a significant period of time in case it needs to be referenced for any reason. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not align with the industry standard of 7 years. Therefore keeping records for a shorter or longer period of time could lead to potential legal and safety issues for patients.
