What electronic medical record advancement helps the nurse recognize when a generic drug has been ordered?
A) The computer verbally pronounces the medication.
B) The computer displays the generic name and the chemical name side by side.
C) The computer uses "Tall-man letters" to identify generic drugs.
D) The computer will bold the medication for enhanced clarity.
Ans: C
Feedback:
Electronic medical records may automatically enter "Tall-man lettering" on the computer screen when generic drug names are ordered. Chemical names are very rarely used at the point of care and computers do not verbally pronounce drug names. Bolding the name of a drug does not necessarily signal that it is a generic drug name.
