Answer: Diazepam belongs to Schedule 2 drugs . Generally this schedule drugs legally has no refills in view of its addictive nature .This can affect Mr. Lehmke by facing difficulty to get the medication without the provider's order

Explanation: Case Study Susan Schults, CMA (AAMA), is working the medication refill line for Pearson Physicians Group. She has received a refill request from Adam Lehmke for his diazepam. When she reviews Mr. Lemke’s chart, she notices that Dr. Penningworth wrote a prescription for diazepam three months ago with two refills and realizes, based on the date, that Mr. Lehmke should still have two weeks of medicine.

Mr Lehmke will find it difficult to obtain a refill without the doctors' authorization

<em>Question information obtained from online sources; Part of the question appears missing, which includes the fact that Mr Lehmke's is expected to still have dosage of the medicine to last him for two weeks, prescribed for him by a doctor three months earlier</em>

Susan Certified Medical Assistant, of the American Association of Medical Assistants, CMA (AAMA) works in the medical refill line of the Physicians Group

Diazepam is a drug for treating withdrawal from alcohol, anxiety, seizures, relief from muscle spasm, and as a source of sedation before performing medical procedures

Diazepam is among the controlled substances and legal users are allotted a limited number of refills for use by the doctor upon prescription

Further usage is based upon the order of the provider of the drug due to its addictive nature and it is illegal to obtain the drug without having a prescription

Based on the laws, given that the medicine with Mr Lehmke's is supposed to have about two weeks left, it will be difficult for him to obtain a refill from Susan without the authorization of his doctor
