Answer to Question 1

A physician's order would include the brand and/or generic name of the drug. The alphabetic index in the PDR would make this section the most user friendly. Based on a physician's order, manufacturer's information and classification information would not be known. The Manufacturer's section is a roster of manufacturers. The Product Category section lists products subdivided by therapeutic classes, such as analgesics, laxatives, oxytocics, and antibiotics. The Product Information section contains reprints of the package inserts for the major products of manufacturers.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
First published in 1983, Drug Interaction Facts is the most comprehensive book available on drug interactions. In addition to monographs listing various aspects of drug interactions, this information is reviewed and updated by an internationally renowned group of physicians and pharmacists with clinical and scientific expertise.
