Nursing students must memorize the generic names of drugs. What is the primary reason that generic names are used by health care providers over chemical and trade names?
1. A drug can have more than one chemical and trade name.
2. There is only one generic name for each drug, and it is easier to remember than the chemical name.
3. The trade names do not reflect the action of the drug as the generic name does.
4. Nursing students should actually strive to learn both the generic and trade names to avoid confusion with clients.
