Some public health advocates have become concerned that directly advertising prescription drugs to consumers is likely to cause some patients to pursue certain medications that may be inappropriate for their individual health situation. However, marketing to consumers should not be limited as long as physicians also continue to be educated about such medications, because a physician's prescription is still required in order for patients to obtain these drugs.
Which of the following facts would most directly address the concern articulated by the public health advocates?
A)After a certain number of years, prescription drugs lose patent protection and other companies can then manufacture and market generic forms of the drugs.
B)Consumers can now find technical drug information on the Internet, information that previously would have been available only to physicians.
C)Physicians are also exposed to prescription drug advertisements that are directed toward consumers.
D)Physicians are not susceptible to pressure from patients in determining appropriate courses of treatment.
E)Fewer than 15% of patients are likely to remember and ask by name for specific drugs that they see advertised in magazines or on television
Can anyone explain me how can OA D
My understanding is like this :
Public health advocates concerned is that advertising prescription drugs to consumers is likely to cause some patients to pursue certain medications that may be inappropriate for their individual health situation. our work is to choose the correct answer which will address the concern articulated by the public health advocates from among the choices. According to the choice D Physicians are not susceptible to pressure from patients in determining appropriate courses of treatment. This is actually addressing the opposite view instead of addressing the concern of advocates. As Physicians are not susceptible to pressure from patients in determining appropriate courses of treatment so physicians can recommend the medicine of their choice and which is appropriate for patient health. So advertising does not cause any wrong choice of medicine by the patients.
Please explain me where I am wrong in understanding..
