Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, D
Trade names are used in advertisements and other marketing, and are generally easier names to use. Examples of trade names are Dimetapp, Lanoxin, and Pen-Vee K.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, D, E
Narcotics are stored in special, limited-access, locked cabinets. A nurse records all controlled-substance medication during the shift. The inventory report form is completed before the drug is removed from the cabinet.
