Question

which of the following suggestions should the pharmacy technician make for a change in prescription that would improve compliance for pediatric patients? avoid spacers (e.g. aerochamber) for inhalers dispensed to pediatric patients. change amoxicillin capsules to liquid. choose flavorless liquid prescriptions. avoid chewable tablets as they can be a choking hazard.

Explanation:

Pediatric patients often have difficulty swallowing pills. Changing amoxicillin capsules to liquid form can improve compliance as it is easier for them to take. Avoiding spacers is not correct as they can be helpful for inhaler - use in children. Flavorless liquids may not be appealing to kids. While chewable tablets can be a choking hazard, changing amoxicillin to liquid directly addresses the compliance issue more effectively in terms of ease of administration for this common antibiotic.

Answer:

Change amoxicillin capsules to liquid.
