  An  institutional  dispenser  may  cause  controlled  substances  to  be
  administered  or  dispensed for use on its premises or for the immediate
  care or  treatment  of  a  patient  lawfully  being  transferred  in  an
  emergency   situation,   as   defined  by  rule  or  regulation  of  the

  controlled  substances to a patient in a hospital emergency room for use
  off the premises of the institutional dispenser  for  a  period  not  to
  exceed twenty-four hours.
    3. An institutional dispenser shall maintain records of all controlled
