Explanation:

• 81: Cocaine and opium are in Schedule II as they have a high potential for abuse but also have accepted medical uses.
• 82: "Superior" in anatomical terms does mean higher, above or toward the head, so it's true.
• 83: A tablet is a solid dosage form, while syrup is liquid, cream and salve are semi - solid.
• 84: 1 mL is a smaller volume measurement compared to 1 tsp (approx 5 mL), 1 gram (a mass measurement, not directly comparable in terms of volume - but if considering liquid volume equivalents, still 1 mL is smaller in liquid volume sense), and 1 oz (approx 29.57 mL).
• 85: A pharmacist doesn't need the patient's symptoms and test results to fill a prescription (assuming the prescription is valid), they need the drug name, amount, strength, dosage, and patient's name and address.
• 86: The smallest arteries are arterioles. Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels (but they are not arteries), venules are small veins, and aortic is related to the aorta (a large artery).
• 87: A person covered by insurance is called a subscriber. A provider is the entity giving the service, a carrier is the insurance company, and a dependent is someone covered under another's policy (but the general term for the covered person is subscriber).
• 88: The abbreviation for three times a day is t.i.d.
• 89: When encountering a baffling term, consulting a dictionary is a reliable way to get the correct meaning.
• 90: Aspirin can sometimes cause bronchospasm in patients with asthma (aspirin - induced asthma), so it might be contraindicated.
