Question

multiple choice question
medical mistakes, such as prescribing the wrong dose of medication, can result from failure to consider which of the following?
negative feedback mechanisms
placebo effect
physiological variation
natural selection

Explanation:

Physiological variation among patients means that the appropriate medication - dose can vary greatly. Ignoring this can lead to wrong - dose prescriptions. Negative feedback mechanisms are regulatory processes in the body not directly related to wrong - dose prescribing. The placebo effect is about the psychological impact of an inactive substance. Natural selection is an evolutionary concept not relevant here.

Answer:

Physiological variation
