For unopened sealed containers of controlled substances, which statement is correct?

When inventorying unopened sealed containers of controlled substances, you rely on the quantity stated on the label as the exact count. The label specifies how many units are in that container, and keeping it sealed preserves the integrity of the inventory while providing a precise figure. Counting the contents or estimating would introduce error, and rounding to the nearest ten isn’t appropriate. Only if the container were opened would you perform a physical count of its contents. Therefore, using the exact count shown on the label is the correct approach.
