,Question 1 — Easy — Multiple Choice
Which statement best defines a drug according to Chapter 1?
A. A substance used only to treat disease
B. Any chemical that can affect living processes
C. A chemical that produces only beneficial effects
D. A biologically active substance that must be prescribed
Correct Answer:
B. Any chemical that can affect living processes
Rationale:
Chapter 1 defines a drug broadly as any chemical capable of
affecting living processes. Therefore, a drug is not limited to
substances used only to treat disease, and it does not have to
produce exclusively beneficial effects. (studylib.net)
