which of the following elements of the prescription below should a pharmacy technician clarify?
levothyroxine .112 mcg i po qd ac
○ strength
○ route
○ time
○ frequency

Explanation:

In the prescription "Levothyroxine.112 mcg i po qd ac", the strength is written as ".112 mcg" which is ambiguous (missing a leading zero, like "0.112 mcg" would be clearer). Route ("po" - oral) is clear, time ("ac" - before meals) and frequency ("qd" - daily) are standard abbreviations. So the strength needs clarification.

Answer:

Strength
