问题     Doctors and the health-care systems in all nations still largely use paper to communicate. This paper is shuttled from one hospital to another, often doesn ’t arrive on time and sometimes doesn’t show up at all. Some of the most important information is written in longhand, and how legible is your doctor’ s handwriting? Fortunately, there is a growing movement to change that, using electronic information technology. While relatively few providers use electronic health records in their offices, that figure is increasing rapidly. More doctors are using computers to order diagnostic tests and treatment. Gradually, institutions are building systems with common coding systems that allow them to exchange data.
    The single most important benefit of electronic records is that they make it possible to deliver information to your doctor at the moment he is making decisions about you care. Instead of having to read through what can be hundreds of pages in your medical record to find a particular test results, or your weight has been over the past three years, that data are now available in an instant. Technology is also making it easier for patients to communicate with doctors and participate in their treatment—enabling them, for example, to ask for a refill and referral, or to transmit important information like the blood-pressure readings taken on home machines.
    Prescribing medicines is also getting a lot safer and more efficient. Computers not only solve the legibility problem with prescriptions, they can also remind the doctor about potential adverse drug-drug interactions or patient drug allergies, and even recommend an adjusted dose based on a patient’s kidney function. In some hospitals, drug orders are bar-coded to be sure they are going to the right patient, and intravenous drugs are delivered through "smart pumps" that ensure the dose is acceptable. Without such checking, it is easy for a nurse to make an error, and give 10 times too much medication.
    Computerizing medical care will be expensive, but there should be a huge return on investment. If not done properly, computerizing medical care can frustrate doctors and threaten the confidentiality of patient records. But in health-care systems that have adopted the technology, these are occasional problems, while improved safety, quality and efficiency are a daily reality.
In making prescriptions,______.
选项 A、doctors should be careful not to write down personal information
B、it is different to find out all the patient’ s allergies
C、the new technology helps avoid errors about the amount of medication
D、doctors and nurses work together to double check who received the medication
答案C
解析 细节题。根据文章的第三段，在处方方面。“they can also remind the doctorabout potential adverse drug-drug interactions or patient drug allergies，and evenrecommend an adjusted dose based on a patient’s kidney function”，“intravenous drugsare delivered through‘smart pumps’that ensure the dose is acceptable”，即提醒医生药物间不良的相互作用或药物过敏，还会根据患者的肾功能推荐药量．可以控制静脉注射的药量等等，选项中只有避免药物用量错误符合题意。
