Kentucky Licensed Clinical Alcohol And Drug Counselors (LCADC) Practice Test

Which statement best describes Drug Schedule IV?

High potential for abuse with significant dependence risk. Medically accepted with moderate to high physical dependence. Low potential for abuse; may lead to limited physical dependency. No potential for abuse and no dependence.

Correct Answer:

Low potential for abuse; may lead to limited physical dependency.

Explanation:

Drug scheduling groups substances by abuse potential, medical use, and dependence risk. Schedule IV indicates relatively low potential for abuse and may lead to limited physical or psychological dependence compared with Schedule III. That’s why the statement describing low abuse potential and possible only limited dependence best fits. The other descriptions align with higher-risk categories or imply no dependence at all, which isn’t accurate for Schedule IV. High abuse potential with significant dependence risk points to Schedule II; a description of SAMPLEmoderate to high physical dependence suggests more than Schedule IV; and saying there is no potential for abuse or dependence would not match how these schedules are defined.
