  3. Ask the pharmacist to call the doctor to see which strength he wanted.
  4. None of the above
Explanation
Answer: C - If a doctor forgets to write the strength of a medication on the prescription, the best course of action is to contact the doctor to see which strength he/she wanted (unless the drug only comes in one strength).
