Kentucky Guidelines for Prescribing Controlled Substances

In lieu of the current opioid epidemic, individual states, such as Kentucky, have set in

place guidelines for the treatment of acute and chronic pain. These guidelines aid in prescribing

pain medications to properly treat the patient’s pain, educate them on the use of pain

medications, and decrease the rate of addiction related to pain medication therapy. This paper

will discuss the guidelines and recommendations for the state of Kentucky, laws on prescribing

controlled substances in Kentucky as a nurse practitioner, and Kentucky’s Prescription Drug

Monitoring Program.

State Specific Guidelines and Recommendations

The Kentucky Board of Nursing and the Kentucky Board of Pharmacy provides many

resources to guide pain management therapy and education. Once on either page, one may use

the search bar to browse through the webpage and search guidelines specific to the type or cause

of pain for the patient. Both sites also outline prescriptive authority for the nurse practitioner and

recommendations on the quantity prescribed and presence of refills. The Kentucky Board of

Nursing and Kentucky Board of Pharmacy guidelines were created to provide a scholarly site for

dispensers to access and gain information safe to use in practice that aligns with state laws and

regulations. https://pharmacy.ky.gov/Pages/search.aspx?
