Question

which of the following dispense as written (daw) codes should a pharmacy technician use when entering a prescription for a patient who has refused a generic substitution? daw 1 daw 0 daw 3 daw 2

Explanation:

Dispense as Written (DAW) codes: DAW 1 is used when the prescriber indicates "dispense as written" or when the patient refuses a generic substitution. DAW 0 is for generic substitution allowed, DAW 2 is when the prescriber allows substitution but requests the brand name, and DAW 3 has other specific uses (e.g., formulary issues). Since the patient refused generic substitution, DAW 1 is appropriate.

Answer:

A. DAW 1
