c. Subscription
d. Transcription (signature)
ANS: B
The superscription directs the pharmacist to take the drug listed and prepare the medication; the
inscription lists the name and quantity of the drug being prescribed; the subscription provides directions
to the pharmacist for preparing the medication; and the transcription, or signature, is the information the
pharmacist writes on the label as instructions to the patient.
REF: p. 7

a. drug from only one manufacturer must be given.
b. drug formulation may be changed by the pharmacist.
c. any manufactured brand of the drug listed may be given.
d. drug strength may be changed by the pharmacist.
ANS: C
A generic substitution allows any brand of a drug to be given, but the pharmacist may not change a drug
formulation without specific permission from the prescribing physician. A physician can indicate to the
pharmacist that generic substitution is permitted in the filling of the prescription. In such a case, the
pharmacist may provide any manufacturer’s version of the prescribed drug, rather than a specific brand.
However, the pharmacist may not change the strength of a drug without specific permission from the
prescribing physician.
