B
Feedback:
The client can request replacement of the prescribed medication with its generic form. The client cannot request variation in medication dosage, change in the route of administration of medication, or a different schedule of the medication. A change in the prescribed dosage, schedule, and route of administration would affect the effectiveness of the drug.
