Which terminology correctly identifies the NMDS classification system?.

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.

Choice A rationale:
Using a follow-up rinse with a flavored drink is a common practice when administering oral medication to a preschool child. This helps mask the taste of the medication, making it more palatable for the child.
Choice B rationale:
Placing the capsule or tablet under the tongue (sublingual administration) is not typically recommended for preschool children due to the risk of choking.
Choice C rationale:
Supporting the child’s head and holding the child in the lap can be helpful but is not a specific guideline for administering oral medication.
Choice D rationale:
Using chewable tablets can be an option if the child’s teeth are not loose. However, it’s not a general guideline as not all medications come in chewable form.
