Correct Answer: A

Rationale:
Choice A is correct because some patients perceive brand-name drugs as higher quality due to marketing or familiarity, despite bioequivalence.
Choice B is incorrect as generics are cheaper, not brand-name.
Choice C is wrong because side effects are equivalent.
Choice D is incorrect since only A applies.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale:
Choice A is correct because the Institute of Medicine recommends transparency in conflicts of interest to reduce bias in prescribing education, promoting objectivity.
Choice B is incorrect as banning reps isn't a universal recommendation—disclosure is preferred.
Choice C is wrong because samples aren't tied to insurance status in this context.
Choice D is incorrect since even low-value gifts can influence, and disclosure is the broader solution.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale:
Choice D is correct because children have higher gastric pH (affects absorption), slower liver metabolism (prolongs drug action), and more body water (alters distribution), all impacting dosing per pediatric pharmacology.
Choice A is incorrect alone as pH is one factor.
Choice B is wrong by itself because metabolism is just part.
Choice C is incorrect solo since body water is only one aspect.
