Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2
Explanation: A paradoxical response is the development of a contradictory reaction to the medication. Because the desired effect of a benzodiazepine is to calm the patient, agitation and anger would be paradoxical responses to a benzodiazepine. An idiosyncratic response is a unique and strange response to medication resulting in pain, bleeding, over response or organ failure. Target effect describes the intended or expected response of a medication. An anaphylactic response is a life-threatening severe, whole-body allergic response.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4
Explanation: Therapeutic range is the range at which therapeutic efficacy can be achieved without risking harm to the patient. Drug dependence refers to a developed compulsive need to use a substance to function normally. The amount (dose) of the drug necessary to produce the desired response is its potency. Target effects occur when a medication reaches the target site and produces the desired effect or the expected or intended response.
