Adverse drug reactions occur in people of all ages and are twice as common in:

A. women
B. men
C. young adults
D. elderly adults

a
Rationale: Women are more likely to experience
adverse drug reactions. This is primarily because average adult dosages are calculated based on a 150-lb body weight, and many women weigh less than this amount; also, they often absorb drugs more quickly than men because of higher amounts of body fat. The other choices are not focused enough to be correct. "Men" is an incorrect choice because they
absorb drugs more slowly than women; "children" and "elderly adults" include males and females and therefore cannot be completely correct.
