Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Chemical names are often the most difficult to remember because they include the chemicals that make up the drug. These names are usually long and hyphenated and describe the atomic or molecular structure.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Over-the-counter (OTC) medications do not require a prescription for purchase, but a physician's order is required before they may be taken in the hospital. OTC medications may interact with a patient's prescribed medications. Therefore, the physician must be aware of all the meds the patient is taking.
