Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The USP-NF is a privately issued compendium that is the only official book of drug standards in the United States. The other publications listed are widely known and respectable reference sources.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Schedule II drugs have a high abuse potential, but they have accepted medical uses. The inap-propriate or indiscriminate use of Schedule II drugs may result in physiologic or psychologic de-pendence. The schedules range in number from I to V, with the lowest number having the highest degree of control.
