Chapter1:Definitions, Names, Standards, and Information SourcesAnswers to Critical Thinking Questions1. Differentiate among generic, trade, brand, and proprietary names assigned to medicines.The generic name or common name is given to a drug before it becomes official. It may be usedby any manufacturer and in any country. The first letter is not capitalized. Nurses are stronglyencouraged to learn and refer to drugs by their generic name,becauseformularies are maintainedby generic names. When a therapeutically equivalent drug is available in generic form, a genericmedicine is routinely substituted for the brand name medicine.The trademark, brand name, or propriety name is followed by the symbol ®. This indicatesthat the name is registered and that its use is restricted to the owner of the drug, who is usuallythe manufacturer. These names are easier to pronounce, spell, and remember, and the first letteris capitalized.2. Describe the different ways drugs may be classified.Body systemthatthey affect (e.g., drugs affecting the central nervous system)Therapeutic use or clinical indications (e.g., antacids, antibiotics)Physiologic or chemical actions (e.g., anticholinergics)Prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC] drugs). Prescription drugsrequire an order by a health professional who is licensed to prescribe, such as a physician,nurse practitioner, or pharmacist. Nonprescription drugs are sold without a prescription ina pharmacy or the health section of department or grocery stores.Illegal drugs,sometimes referred to asrecreational drugs, are used for nontherapeuticpurposes, have been obtained illegally, or have not received approval for use by theU.S.Food and Drug Administration (FDA).3.
