Question: 1 / 400

Which statement best describes the nursing student's understanding of how effective doses of medications relate to clinical practice?

About 50% of patients will experience severe side effects from the drug

About 50% of patients will not experience any effect from the drug

Some patients will require more or less than the average dose of the drug

In clinical practice, the statement that best describes a nursing student's understanding of how effective doses of medications relate is that some patients will require more or less than the average dose of the drug (Option C). This understanding highlights the concept of individual variation in drug response, known as pharmacogenomics.

While Options A, B, and D may also relate to medication response variability in patients, they do not capture the broad idea that patients may require different doses based on factors such as genetics, age, weight, comorbidities, or other individual characteristics. Option C effectively summarizes the complex nature of dosing individualization in clinical practice.
