When a physician orders a drug's strength, there is limitation as to what can be written in the order. Describe what that limitation is, giving an example to justify your explanation
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: The physician must prescribe a drug strength that corresponds exactly to the strength in which the drug is manufactured. Example: If the drug is manufactured in 25 mg and 50 mg tablets, the physician cannot write a prescription for an 80 mg tablet. However, if the drug is manufactured as a scored tablet, the physician can write a prescription for exactly one-half of the amount in one tablet.
