Question

question 9 1 point a patient presents a pharmacy technician with a prescription that indicates the prescriber has authorized a generic substitution. however, the patient requests no generic substitution. which of the following daw codes should the technician use when entering this prescription in the computer.
○ 2
○ 3
○ 0
○ 1

Explanation:

DAW (Dispense As Written) codes:

• DAW 0: Generic substitution permitted, no product selection indicated.
• DAW 1: Prescriber mandates brand, no generic substitution.
• DAW 2: Patient requests brand (prescriber authorized generic, but patient wants brand).
• DAW 3: Brand not available, substitute generic.

In this case, the prescriber authorized generic substitution, but the patient requests no generic (wants brand). So DAW 2 applies.

Answer:

2
