Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Because a medication may influence many body systems at the same time, the effect of the medication is often not restricted to the desired action. Side effects are usually seen as mild but annoying responses to the medication.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Drugs attach at drug receptor sites but then remain chemically inactive; no chemical drug response is produced, but the drug prevents activation of the receptor.
