Can Clinical Assistants (CIAs) prescribe narcotics or controlled substances?

Yes, without restrictions
No, they cannot prescribe narcotics or controls
Yes, but only with a supervising physician's approval
Only if they have special certification

The correct answer is: No, they cannot prescribe narcotics or controls

CIAs cannot prescribe narcotics or controlled substances because they do not have the required medical training and licensing to safely prescribe these medications. They are not authorized by law to do so and could potentially harm patients if they were to prescribe these substances without proper knowledge and training. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they all suggest that CIAs have the ability to prescribe these medications in some capacity, which is not the case. Option A falsely claims that there are no restrictions on CIAs prescribing narcotics, which is not true. Option C implies that a supervising physician's approval is enough for a CIA to prescribe these substances, but that is not the case. And option D suggests that with special certification, CIAs could prescribe these medications, but this is not true either. Overall, the correct answer is B because CIAs are not legally allowed to prescribe narcotics or controlled substances.
