72. A prescription for Percocet 10 mg/325 mg was written for 120 tablets with 1 refill for a patient. What is the total number of tablets that can be dispensed?
Answer: D
The total number of tablets that can be dispensed is 240.
The prescription for Percocet includes 120 tablets with 1 refill, allowing for a total of 240 tablets when the refill is accounted for.
A) 30
This option is incorrect because it does not account for the full quantity prescribed. The prescription clearly states that 120 tablets are to be dispensed, which is significantly more than 30.
B) 60
This option is also incorrect as it underestimates the total number of tablets. The prescription allows for 120 tablets initially, which is more than 60, and does not consider the refill.
C) 120
While this option correctly reflects the initial quantity of tablets prescribed, it fails to include the refill. Therefore, the total number of tablets available to the patient is not just 120 but 240 when the refill is added.
D) 240
This option is correct because it accurately reflects the total number of tablets available for dispensation, which includes both the initial 120 tablets and the additional 120 tablets from the refill.
Conclusion
The correct answer is 240, as it encompasses the full prescription including the refill. Options A, B, and C do not consider the refill, resulting in an inaccurate total. Only option D accurately represents the total quantity that can be dispensed based on the prescription provided.
