According to the Narcotic Control Regulations of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, which of the following practitioners may prescribe narcotic drugs?

  1. Midwives

  2. Chiropractors

  3. Osteopaths

  4. Pharmacists

The correct answer is: Midwives

Midwives are qualified health care professionals who are licensed to practice midwifery and are included in the list of authorized practitioners who may prescribe narcotic drugs under the Narcotic Control Regulations of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. B, C, and D are incorrect because they are not included in the list of authorized practitioners. Chiropractors, osteopaths, and pharmacists do not have the required education, training, and licensing to prescribe narcotic drugs. Therefore, A is the only correct option.
