Ans: D


Feedback:


It is importantxfor the nursexto specifically question use of over-the-
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


counter medications because patients may not consider them important. The patient is unlikely to

Feedback:


After completing a pharmacology course nursesxwill have general drug information needed for safe
