Answer 1

Ans.6. The correct answer is  B) report the resh immediately to his / her supervisor.

should immediately report to his her supervisor for early availability of the particular treatment. This may help the patient to relieve from itching and rashes from the body surface.

Ans 7. The statement is false ( B )

When the drug is off-patent (no longer protected by patent), the company may market its product under either the generic name or brand name. Other companies that file for approval to market the off-patent drug must use the same generic name but can create their own brand name. As a result, the same generic drug may be sold under either the generic name or one of many brand names (such as Advil or Motrin).

Generic and brand names must be unique to prevent one drug from being mistaken for another when drugs are prescribed and prescriptions are dispensed. To prevent this possible confusion, the FDA must agree to every proposed brand name.

Ans 8.- the correct answer is (d) report that he has not swallowed the medication in hos chart.

this is because we can't force a patient for taking medicine and that's why the prime duty of the nurse is to report the medication update in the chart.
