a prescriber requests over - the - counter (otc) aspirin ec.
which of the following types of aspirin should a pharmacy technician select?
○ chewable

Explanation:

First Question (Medication Storage)

Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets are sensitive to heat, moisture, and light. They are typically dispensed in original glass packaging and stored at room temperature away from these elements to maintain potency. Azithromycin ophthalmic solution has different storage (often refrigerated or specific temp), Warfarin tablets and Methylprednisolone dose pack don't require original glass packaging with this specific storage.

Aspirin EC (enteric - coated) is formulated to pass through the stomach without dissolving (to reduce stomach irritation) and dissolve in the small intestine. So the pharmacy technician should select the enteric - coated aspirin.

Answer:

C. Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets

Second Question (Aspirin EC Selection)

(Note: The options for the second question's aspirin types are cut off, but assuming common options: Enteric - coated (EC) aspirin is designed to resist stomach acid, so the pharmacy technician should select the enteric - coated aspirin. If options included "Enteric - coated" as a choice, that would be the answer. Since the options are partially visible, but based on the question about aspirin EC (enteric - coated), the correct type is enteric - coated aspirin. For example, if options were like Chewable, Enteric - coated, Buffered, Regular, the answer would be the enteric - coated one.)
