Identify one indicator for a narcotics antagonist to be prescribed.

Choice A rationale

The Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) primarily focuses on the enforcement of controlled substances laws and regulations, not the approval and testing of medications.

Choice B rationale

The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) accredits and certifies healthcare organizations and programs, but it does not control medication testing.

Choice C rationale

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) focuses on public health and disease prevention, not the scientific testing of medications.

Choice D rationale

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for protecting public health by ensuring the safety, efficacy, and security of human and veterinary drugs, biological products, and medical devices through rigorous scientific testing. .

Choice A rationale

It is not correct to say that women are more prone to adverse effects from medications than men. Adverse effects can vary based on individual responses, and gender is not the sole determinant.

Choice B rationale

Women of reproductive age are often excluded from early-phase drug trials due to the potential risks that experimental drugs could pose to developing fetuses. The reproductive risk needs to be carefully managed to avoid harm.

Choice C rationale

While it is true that drugs can affect women differently than men, this answer does not directly address the specific reason why women are excluded from Phase 1 studies, which is primarily due to the potential risks to reproductive health.

Choice D rationale

This is incorrect because drugs are not tested only on men because they are stronger. This statement is not scientifically accurate and does not reflect the principles of clinical trial design.
