What You'll Learn
- Days supply for solids and liquids, and the misread that halves or doubles it
- Percentage and ratio concentrations, and the one conversion worth memorizing
- Checking an answer for plausibility in three seconds
- Look-alike drug pairs, tall man lettering, and matching by NDC rather than name
Real-World Scenario
A days supply entered wrong rejects a claim — or worse, sends a patient home to run out early. On the shelf, hydralazine and hydroxyzine sit side by side, differing by three letters, on your fortieth prescription of the shift.
