MULTIPLE RESPONSE
1. The listing of a drug and the amount of drug are found in which part of a prescription?
a. Superscription
b. Inscription
c. Subscription
d. Transcription (signature)
PRECISE ANSWER:-B
Reasoning :->>>The superscription directs the registered pharmacist to take the drug listed and preparethe
drug; the inscription lists the name and quantity of the drug being prescribed; the subscriptionprovides
directions to the registered pharmacist for preparing the drug; and the transcription, or signature, is the
information the registered pharmacist writes on the label as instructions to the patient.
REFERENCE: p. 7
2. If generic substitution is permitted on a prescription:
a. drug from only one manufacturer must be given.
b. drug formulation may be changed by the registered pharmacist.
c. any manufactured brand of the drug listed may be given.
d. drug strength may be changed by the registered pharmacist.
PRECISE ANSWER:-C
Reasoning :->>>A generic substitution allows any brand of a drug to be given, but the registered pharmacist
may not change a drug formulation without specific permission from the prescribing physician. A physician
can indicate to the registered pharmacist that generic substitution is permitted in the filling of the prescription.
In such a case, the registered pharmacist may provide any manufacturer’s version of the prescribed drug, rather
than a specific brand. However, the registered pharmacist may not change thestrength of a drug without
specific permission from the prescribing physician.
REFERENCE: p. 8
3. The study of drug, including their origin, properties, and interactions with living organisms, is known as
a. pharmacogenetics.
b. pharmacology.
c. therapeutics.
d. toxicology.
PRECISE ANSWER:-B
Reasoning:->>>Pharmacogenetics is the study of the interrelationship of genetic differences and drug effects.
Pharmacology is the study of drug (chemicals), including their origin, properties, and interactionswith living
organisms.
Therapeutics is the art of treating illness with drug. Toxicology is the study of toxic substances and their
pharmacologic actions, including antidotes and poison control.
REFERENCE: p. 3
4. The brand name given to a drug by a particular manufacturer is known as the drug’s
a. chemical name.
b. generic name. c.official name. d.trade name.
PRECISE ANSWER:-D
, Reasoning:->>>The chemical name indicates the drug’s chemical structure. The generic name is assignedby the
United States
