Just wanted to be certain, since I seem to recall (and I may be wrong) that prior to Pathfinder they wrote those attack lines as "Claw, Claw, Bite" or similar to make this relation more clear.</p>

As you know, some monsters list their attacks as multiple uses of the same thing... for example you might see "Melee: 2 Claws (stats here), Bite (stats here)". Obviously you can only get 2 Claws and the Bite on a Full Attack. That part is clear enough.</p>
<p>Here's my question: Can such a creature use the 2 Claws as a standard attack action after doing some other move action (such as moving adjacent to the target they wish to hit)? Or would they be limited to just 1 Claw because a standard attack action generally only grants one attack?</p>
<p>If you need a creature example: <a href="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/animals/bear/brown-grizzly-bear" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Brown Bear on D20PFSRD</a></p>
<p>Most of the Summon Monster IV list has comparable creatures if more examples are needed; Giant Scorpion for example.</p>I'm pretty sure this is a basic question, but it's also one I want to be absolutely sure I'm right on since it does affect how dangerous certain monsters are.
