Which of the following statements is correct regarding OTC drugs? (Select all that apply)

  1. OTC drugs are less effective than prescription drugs

  2. OTC drugs do not require supervision of a nurse

  3. OTC drugs should be included in the client's drug history assessment

  4. OTC drugs do not cause toxicity

The correct answer is: OTC drugs are less effective than prescription drugs

OTC drugs are indeed less effective than prescription drugs. Prescription drugs are typically more potent and are often necessary for treating more serious or complex medical conditions. While OTC drugs may be suitable for treating mild symptoms or conditions, they may not be as effective as prescription medications in managing certain health issues. It is important for healthcare providers to consider the efficacy of different treatment options when determining the most appropriate course of action for their patients.
