Question
The following is the abstract from the study used previously from the lesson Use it to answer the following question
Recent studies have linked patient misunderstanding of label instructions for as needed (PRN) medications to dosing errors. This study
conducted a preliminary field test of patient-centered PRN label instructions. Patients participated in a hypothetical dosing experiment and
were randomized to a patient-centered label (referred to as "Take-Wait -Stop") or standard label Participants were asked to demonstrate
dosing the medicine over 24 hours. Three types of independent dosing errors were measured (a) taking more than two pills at one time, (b)
exceeding the maximum daily dose, and (c) waiting fewer than 4 hours between doses. Generalized linear models were used to assess the

The correct statement about the study is:
**The Take-Wait-Stop label significantly reduced some kinds of the tested dosing errors.**
The study indicates that the Take-Wait-Stop label was beneficial in preventing participants from exceeding the maximum dose in 24 hours, which implies it significantly reduced at least that particular dosing error. However, it did not significantly reduce other dosing errors, such as taking more than two pills at one time or waiting fewer than 4 hours between doses.
**The Take-Wait-Stop label significantly reduced some kinds of the tested dosing errors.**
