Hints for this Quiz
Think about the formal address usted in medical situations.
In medical contexts in Spain, the formal form usted is used. That’s why the correct option is "¿Me deja…?". The sentence "¿Me deja su tarjeta sanitaria?" is a typical phrase you’ll hear at the pharmacy when they dispense medication from an electronic prescription. See the section on usted and the sample pharmacy dialogue.
In a pharmacy they ask about the type of medicine, not about temperature or clothes.
This is the standard question when dispensing from an electronic prescription: they offer you “genérico” or “marca”. In the model dialogue, the pharmacist asks after scanning the card: "Veo que tiene prescrito omeprazol 20 mg. ¿Quiere el genérico o prefiere la marca?"
Look for the option with "más barato" and "genérico".
To pay less, you ask for the generic. The example prices (2,50 € vs 4,20 €) and typical phrases come from the dialogue “en farmacia con receta electrónica”.
The question is about pensioners: remember the 10% and the monthly caps.
Pensioners usually pay 10% with monthly limits (8,23 €, 18 € or 60 €, depending on income level). This is described explicitly in the summary about copago.
Make the quantifier agree with "caja" (femenino singular).
You need agreement with "caja" (feminine singular): "otra caja". "otros" is plural, "alguna" changes the meaning (“some / any box”), and "ningún" doesn’t combine with a feminine singular noun and expresses negation. This is practice with quantifiers (quantificadores).
Remember the fixed expressions: al día; en ayunas.
The typical formula is: "una cápsula al día, en ayunas". "al día" and "en ayunas" are fixed expressions in Spanish medication instructions.
Think: Valencia – SIP; Cataluña – CIP; País Vasco – TIS.
Regional differences: Valencia uses SIP, Cataluña uses CIP, País Vasco uses TIS, and TSI is the national term. This can be a confusing “false friend” when you move between regions.
