Prescribing less-expensive generic drugs or drugs off the 4 retail pharmacy lists:
 
  1. Increases the complexity of the pharmacoeconomics of prescribing for the individual patient
  2. Increases compliance by reducing the financial burden of drug costs to the patient
  3. Is not sound prescribing practice due to the inferiority of the generic products
  4. Will increase the overall cost of drugs to the system due to the ease of overprescribing less-expensive drugs

Question 2

Research has shown that when patients who are covered by Medicare Part D reach the donut hole in coverage they:
 
  1. Ask for extra refills of medication to get them through the months of no coverage
  2. Fill their prescriptions less frequently, including critical medications such as warfarin or a statin
  3. Fill their critical medications, but hold off on filling less-critical medications
  4. Demonstrate no change in their prescription filling pattern
