A client asks the nurse why the healthcare provider often refers to medications by the generic name ...

2.   The physician prefers to use a more technical-sounding name for medications.
3.   There is only one generic name for each medication, but there are often many brand names.
4.   The client needs to ask the physician to explain why medications have so many different names.
