Question 3

United Pharmacy is a major pharmaceutical company in Mobile Alabama with e-commerce sales of prescriptions.Sometimes a patient might be taking two (or more drugs)that might be effective on their own,but might be troublesome when taken in combination.How can the user interface design check for medications that may cause drug interactions?

Accepted Answer

They would want a database check and consistency check built in.The database check would indicate that a particular medication might cause drug interactions with other drugs. The consistency check might be to verify that quantities are appropriate (so that a patient can't get an overdose by taking all the medications at once).

There are three fundamental parts to a user interface: navigation mechanism,input mechanism and output mechanism.

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False

Question 5

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False

Question 6

When creating navigational controls for an interface,analysts should assume that all users will (a)be given training;(b)have a user's manual for the new interface and (c)will have experts available to help them (like help desk personnel).

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False
