,Question 1 — Easy — Multiple Choice
Which statement best defines a drug within the context of
pharmacology?
A. A substance used only to treat disease
B. Any chemical that can affect living processes
C. Any naturally occurring substance that changes body function
D. A substance approved for human use by a regulatory agency
Correct Answer:
B. Any chemical that can affect living processes
Rationale:
A drug is broadly defined as any chemical capable of affecting
living processes. The definition is broader than substances used
therapeutically, although nursing pharmacology focuses primarily
on drugs used as medications. (studylib.net)

other activities may be components of broader pharmacology or
therapeutics. (studylib.net)
