Pharmacy Technician Study Guide Help?
I need someone to do this for me! I have been working on this for the past few months. I have poor comprehension problems. I just really need someone to give me DIRECT answers instead of wordy responses. I just really need to know the definition/what every single one of these means.
Following is a list of key words that you should know for each of the major areas listed above. While this is not represented as an exhaustive list of every term you should know, knowing each of these terms and the related concepts help you prepare for the Exam. You may find it helpful to make a list of definitions for words and terminology that may be new to you.
