Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
DAW stands for dispense as written and means that the doctor does not want a generic substituted for the prescribed medication. Requesting no refills does not preclude the substitution of a generic medication. Even when the brand name is ordered, the pharmacist can substitute a generic equivalent so long as the prescriber does not write DAW. Generic substitutions are not impacted by the patient's age.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Posaconazole is used for prophylaxis treatment of invasive Aspergillus and Candida infections in adults and children older than 13 years who are immunosuppressed secondary to antineoplastic, chemotherapy, graft-versus-host disease following transplants, or hematological malignancies. Posaconazole would not be used to treat blastomycosis, mucormycosis, or coccidioidomycosis.
