The drug is not in possession of the ultimate user before administration. The institution maintains appropriate safeguards and records regarding the proper administration, control, dispensing, and storage of the drug.

WI is less strict on CII Rx orders that are faxed. For example

The prescription order is written for a schedule II controlled substance for a patient who resides in a long term care facility, or who meets the eligibility requirements for placement in a long term care facility but elects to reside at home, and is transmitted by the practitioner or the practitioner's agent to the dispensing pharmacy by facsimile. •(c)The prescription order is written for a schedule II controlled substance for a patient enrolled in a hospice certified by medicare under Title XVIII or licensed by this state, and is transmitted by the practitioner or the practitioner's agent to the dispensing pharmacy by facsimile (hospice = any CII)
