Walgreens Intercom Plus Information Practice Exam

Drug Utilization Review is a process that examines how a patient is taking medications to catch safety and appropriateness issues. When a DUR alert appears during dispensing, it signals that a potential problem with the patient’s drug usage has been identified—things like possible drug interactions, duplications, inappropriate dosing, allergies, or contraindications. This prompts the pharmacist to review the case and intervene if needed to keep the patient safe.

That’s why the statement is best: it specifically describes DUR as indicating a patient drug usage problem found through the review process. The other options describe different ideas (such as simply logging usage, a generic report, or a nonstandard term) and don’t capture the core purpose of Drug Utilization Review.
