Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A rationale:
While distribution can affect a person’s response to medication, it is not the aspect of genetic makeup most likely to alter this response.
Choice B rationale:
Absorption can affect how a drug is taken up by the body, but it is not the aspect of genetic makeup most likely to alter a person’s response to medication.
Choice C rationale:
Excretion, or how the body eliminates a drug, can affect drug response, but it is not the aspect of genetic makeup most likely to alter this response.
Choice D rationale:
Metabolism, or how the body processes a drug, is the aspect of genetic makeup most likely to alter a person’s response to medication. Genetic differences can lead to variations in drug-metabolizing enzymes, affecting how quickly or slowly drugs are metabolized.

A. Trough. B. Drug. C. Peak. D. Therapeutic.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale:
Trough levels are the lowest concentration in the patient’s bloodstream, hence they are not the best indicator of the amount of circulating medication.
Choice B rationale:
The term ‘Drug’ is too general and does not specifically refer to the amount of medication in the patient’s bloodstream.
Choice C rationale:
Peak levels are the highest concentration of a drug in the patient’s bloodstream after administration. This is when the amount of the medication in the body is likely to be highest.
Choice D rationale:
Therapeutic levels refer to the range in which a drug is expected to be effective without causing any serious problems to the patient. It does not directly indicate the amount of circulating medication.
