Question 1 of 5
The nurse is explaining the differences between trade and generic name medications. Which of the following statements is TRUE regarding generic name medications?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: The generic name of the medication is generally cheaper than the trade name of the medication. This is because generic medications do not have the same development costs as brand-name medications, allowing them to be sold at a lower price. Generic medications are required to have the same active ingredients, strength, dosage form, and route of administration as the brand-name medication.
Therefore, patients can expect the same therapeutic effects from both types of medications.
Incorrect choices:
B: There are multiple generic names of a medication - This is incorrect as each medication typically has only one generic name.
C: The generic name of the medication is generally more expensive than the trade name of the medication - This is incorrect as generic medications are usually cheaper.
D: There is no difference in names and price when comparing with generic and trade name of medications - This is incorrect as there is a price difference between generic and brand-name medications due to development costs.
