ABBREVIATIONSIt is a common practice among physicians to abbreviate all

Latin words possible except in cases where confusion may result.The abbreviations in use include the names of ingredients,amounts, directions to the pharmacist, and even the phrases usedin the signature which were formerly written in Latin. There areno established abbreviations for the names of drugs: they shouldbe written out in full to avoid the possibility of serious error. Acomplete list of the established abbreviations follows.

187. TOPICS FOR CLASS DISCUSSIONIs the use of English preferable to that of Latin for pre-

scription writing in the United States? Why?How would you proceed if you were asked to fill a prescrip-tion having an inscription correctly written in Latin, but asubscription written in a language that you were unable tointerpret?

Is it proper to fill a prescription for the use of a personother than the one for whom it was originally intended?Why?How would you proceed if you were in doubt as to thedeciphering of an ingredient or an amount?What are the objections, if any, to the refilling of a pre-scription without the physician's knowledge?What points should be considered in determining an over-dose? What would be the method of procedure if an ap-parent overdose were detected? If a quantity were omitted?

Would it be proper to furnish the patient with a copy of aprescription covered by the Harrison Law? Would you dis-pense such a prescription if the date were lacking?

Is it permissible for a pharmacist to make alterations oradditions to a prescription? Explain.What objections, if any, to the use of a "Poison" label ona preparation for internal use, when the physician has notspecified that it shall be used?Would you dispense an ounce of morphine on a prescrip-tion which fulfilled all of the requirements of the " HarrisonLaw " as to date, signature, etc. ?
