How should narcotics be destroyed according to regulations?

By a single health care professional
At the pharmacist's home
Locally with two health care professionals or sent off-site
Without documentation for lesser controlled substances

The correct answer is: Locally with two health care professionals or sent off-site

Narcotics are powerful drugs that are strictly regulated due to the high potential for abuse and addiction. Therefore, proper disposal of narcotics is crucial to prevent misuse and protect the public's health and safety. Option A and B are incorrect because regulations require the involvement of at least two healthcare professionals during disposal to ensure accountability and proper supervision. Option D is incorrect because all controlled substances, regardless of their classification, must be properly documented during disposal. This is to ensure proper tracking of these substances and to prevent them from ending up in the wrong hands. Therefore, the correct answer is C, which involves the disposal of narcotics either locally with two healthcare professionals or by sending them off-site to an approved facility for destruction.
