Week 2: Statce Specific Guidelines for Prescribing Controlled
Substances
Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is to provide the student with an opportunity to explore the
most recent guidelines and recommendations in the student's state of practice for pain
management therapies and education; as well as to understand specific state regulations
governing controlled substance prescriptions.
Activity Learning Outcomes
Through this assignment, the student will demonstrate the ability to:
• Identify and describe at least one current state specific guideline for pain
management therapy and education.
• Explore other organizations or pain initiatives that are offered by the state (if applicable).
• Describe state specific laws that apply to the authority to prescribe schedule
II- controlled substances.
• Explore the state's Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP).
Due Date: 7/19/20 (50 points)
Assignment should be submitted to the Week 2 State Specific Guidelines for Prescribing
Controlled Substances dropbox by Sunday 11:59 p.m. MST at the end of Week 2. When the
assignment is placed in the dropbox, it will automatically be submitted to Turnitin. You may
submit the assignment one additional time before the due date to lower the Turnitin score. If
you choose to resubmit, the second submission will be considered final and subject to grading.
Once the due date for the assignment passes, you may not resubmit to lower a Turnitin score.
This assignment will follow the late assignment policy specified in the course syllabus.
Students are expected to submit assignments by the time they are due. Assignments submitted
after the due date and time will receive a deduction of 10% of the total points possible for that
assignment for each day the assignment is late. Assignments will be accepted, with penalty as
described, up to a maximum of three days late, after which point a zero will be recorded for the
assignment.
In the event of a situation that prevents timely submission of an assignment, students may
petition their instructor for a waiver of the late submission grade reduction. The instructor will
review the student's rationale for the request and make a determination based on the merits of
the student's appeal. Consideration of the student's total course performance to date will be a
contributing factor in the determination. Students should continue to attend class, actively
participate, and complete other assignments while the appeal is pending.
