What is the title of the BMED 12?

• A. Book of medical records
• B. Accountable drugs register
• C. Medical equipment ledger
• D. Inventory control register

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is documenting strict accountability for drugs that require tight control. An Accountable Drugs Register is the official log used to record every movement of these drugs—receipts, issues to patients or departments, and the running balance. It creates an auditable trail of who took or used the drug, when it happened, and in what amount, often including batch numbers and expiry when relevant. This focused record helps prevent loss, theft, or misappropriation and supports regulatory compliance and precise stock control.

Other options describe broader or different records: a book of medical records stores patient files; a medical equipment ledger tracks devices; an inventory control register tracks general stock. But for substances that must be tightly tracked, the Accountable Drugs Register is the correct title because it specifically captures accountability and stewardship of those medications.
