question 9
which of the following is a characteristic of a medications brand name?
it is the official name given to a medication based on its chemical name
it is the trademarked name given to a medication by the fda

Explanation:

For the first - question, calling a staff meeting is an over - reaction for a near - error. Confronting the person immediately may cause tension. Ignoring it is risky as near - errors can indicate potential problems. Talking to the pharmacist privately allows for a proper assessment and handling of the situation. For the second question, a medication's brand name is a trademarked name given by the company, not an official name based on the chemical name.

Answer:

1. D. Talk to the pharmacist in a private setting.
2. It is the trademarked name given to a medication by the company (assuming the second option among the two provided for the second question is this full statement about trademarked name).
