  4. Blood Pressure cuff
  5. appendix
  6. urine
  7. Herpes
    8.penecillin
  8. annual checkup
  9. cats

It’s always the issue! :smiley:

Question:

On question 8, name a medication, would you group “anti-depressant,” “Prozac,” and “Paxil” together? If so, would you then group Adderall and Ritalin together, since they both treat ADD?

Or leave them all separate?

I have this scoring problem all the time, when there are generic-type answers, and then more specific answers. I wonder how to group them.

What say you, Feuders?

  1. Cardiologist
  2. Breast
  3. Depression
  4. Scale
  5. Tumor
  6. Blood
  7. Gonorrhea
  8. Zoloft
  9. Common cold
  10. Shellfish

I say you write the question to be Name a “type of medication” or “name a specific medication”.

For this round, I would say you keep seperate scores. The people who said Prozac and those who said Paxil would get an unfair bonus, plus, those can be prescribed for things other than depression.

Yes to both. Prozac has long been synomonous with “anti-depressant”, it seems fair to me.

I don’t write the questions, generally. I collect them from various posters.

So I have one nay, and one yea…

My thought was leave them separate since I meant “brand name” when I was writing the questions, but I think I definitely should have been clearer. I’m kind of torn on this one, too. So you have one “yay,” one “nay,” and one “I don’t know.”
