,Question 1 — Easy — Multiple Choice
Which statement best defines a drug?
A. A substance used only to treat diagnosed diseases
B. Any chemical capable of affecting living processes
C. A substance that must be approved for human use
D. Any substance that produces only beneficial effects
Correct Answer:
B. Any chemical capable of affecting living processes
Rationale:
A drug is broadly defined as a chemical that can affect living
processes; the term is not limited to substances that provide
benefit or have been formally approved for therapy. A describes
therapeutic use rather than the definition itself. C is too restrictive,
and D incorrectly assumes that drugs produce only beneficial
effects. (studylib.net)
