This answer is simple if you don't plan on managing chronic pain, but if you do, your interviewer will want to know to what extent. The opioid crisis makes for bad press from overdoses, and institutions and groups want to steer clear of the whole controversy--not to mention scrutiny from the DEA and your state board. Also, the elderly are particularly at risk to misuse scheduled drugs because of forgetfulness or diversion at the hands of family members. Before your interview, you need to prepare to be asked this and explain the special precautions you need when prescribing scheduled drugs for the elderly.
