Answer to Question 1

D
D. Toxic effects may be lethal, depending on the medication's action. For example, morphine acts on the central nervous system to relieve pain by producing a combination of depressing and stimulating effects. Toxic levels of morphine cause severe respiratory depression and can lead to death if unrecognized or not treated.
A. Skin rash is an allergic reaction of small, raised vesicles that are usually reddened, often distributed over the entire body.
B and C. The most commonly reported side effects are anorexia, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth, abdominal gas, constipation, and diarrhea. Any side effect should be reported to a physician and pharmacist to ensure that they are not incorrectly interpreted as a more serious adverse medication reaction.

The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
