What is the main difference between delivering and dispensing a drug?

  1. Delivering involves direct application to the patient, while dispensing does not

  2. Dispensing involves compounding, measuring, and labeling, while delivering does not

  3. Delivering includes affixing a label, while dispensing does not

  4. Delivering and dispensing are essentially the same

The correct answer is: Dispensing involves compounding, measuring, and labeling, while delivering does not

The main difference between delivering and dispensing a drug is the involvement of compounding, measuring, and labeling in the dispensing process. Delivering a drug involves the direct application of a drug to a patient, while dispensing goes a step further by preparing the drug in the appropriate dose and labeling it for the patient. Option C is incorrect because affixing a label is part of the dispensing process, not delivering. Option D is incorrect because while the two terms may be used interchangeably in casual conversation, there is a distinct difference between delivering and dispensing a drug.
