Question

proper storage of a medication in a pharmacy is best determined by:
a. reading the package insert.
b. asking the pharmacist.
c. calling the fda.
d. consulting the merck index.

Explanation:

To determine the proper storage of a medication in a pharmacy, the package insert (also known as the prescribing information) contains detailed and official storage instructions provided by the manufacturer. Asking the pharmacist (B) is helpful but the package insert is the primary source. Calling the FDA (C) is not practical for routine storage info, and the Merck Index (D) is more for chemical and drug info rather than specific storage for a particular medication's package. So the best way is reading the package insert.

Answer:

A. reading the package insert.
