Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1

Rationale 1: Pharmacokinetics describes how the body absorbs, distributes, metabolizes, and excretes drugs.
Rationale 2: Pharmacokinetics is how drugs activate specific receptors is incorrect because drugreceptor interactions describe, in part, what effects a drug has on the body, and thus are considered part of pharmacodynamics.
Rationale 3: Pharmacokinetics is what a drug does to the body is incorrect because pharmacodynamics is the term that describes what effects a drug has on the body.
Rationale 4: Pharmacokinetics is the efficacy of a drug is incorrect because efficacy is a pharmacodynamic concept.
