Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Online drug formularies published by authoritative sources are reliable and current,for example,the U.S.FDA Medication Guides or the Physicians' Desk Reference (PDR).Peer-reviewed journal articles are read by experts in the field and critiqued before they are published to check for reliability.They are a good source of reliable information,although they would be a secondary source.Popular periodicals are secondary sources of information; they are not scholarly,technical,peer-reviewed,or verified by an authoritative source.Social media sites are largely merely a sharing of opinions and lack reliability.
