Which statement is correct about patient tolerance to medications?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
The correct answer is A because of pharmacokinetics. Tolerance occurs when the body adapts to a drug, requiring higher doses for the same effect. This is due to decreased drug sensitivity or increased drug metabolism, not liver/kidney failure (B). Tolerance is not about stable doses (C) or non-compliance (D).
