Bank/ EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
SOLVED 100% CORRECT
What does the study of disease processes aid in understanding?
Ans: Normal functions.
Quiz What do Phase IV clinical drug trials involve?
Ans: Testing a drug only on the specific human population who have the condition that the drug
is intended to treat.
Quiz What is the result of negative feedback?
Ans: A response that opposes the original deviation from normal.
