Question 1 of 5
Which of the following types of patients are more vulnerable to drug toxicity?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Immunocompromised patients. Immunocompromised patients have weakened immune systems, making them more susceptible to drug toxicity due to reduced ability to metabolize and eliminate drugs effectively. This can lead to higher drug concentrations in the body, increasing the risk of adverse reactions. On the other hand, immunocompetent patients have normal immune function and can better tolerate drugs. Infants and elderly patients are more vulnerable due to factors like underdeveloped or declining organ function, not solely due to immune status. Patients who have allergic reactions may be at risk for specific drug allergies, but not necessarily more vulnerable to drug toxicity in general.
