Rock the Pharmacy PEBC Test 2026 – Your Prescription for Success!

Question: 1 / 400

Which of the following drug orders is incomplete and requires follow-up with the prescriber?

Zithromax Z-Pak® (azithromycin 250 mg), 2 tabs po day 1 and 1 tab po days 2-5

Flonase® (fluticasone) 100 mcg spray, 1 or 2 sprays in each nostril bid x 1 bottle

Actonel® (risedronate), 35 mg po once weekly x 12 tabs

Zocor® (simvastatin), 1 tab po hs for 3 months

The other options are incorrect because they provide specific instructions for the dosage, frequency, duration, and/or route of administration. Option D only provides a dosage and a time of administration but does not specify how long the patient should take the medication for. This could lead to confusion and potentially harm the patient if they continue taking the medication for longer than necessary or stop taking it prematurely. It is important to follow up with the prescriber to confirm the duration of treatment in order to ensure that the patient is receiving the correct medication regimen.
