read a prescription, regardless of  the quality of the 
physician's penmenship.

At the beginning of the lesson students will be given a brief
history of prescriptions.  Students will look at sample
prescriptions and identify each part during the lecture. 
Students will be given data to be placed in a prescription
form.
