Self-study
Hello J.Y. and 7Sagers!
I love 7Sage and would like to suggest some improvements to the site.
1. Include an Up&Down voting mechanism for lesson comments a la Reddit
2. Include a delete function for lesson comments (if it is there, I cannot find it)
3. Create an additional sub-forum under "For 7Sagers only" to house meta-discussion such as suggestions
4. Create a lesson or permanent forum post that contains all of the skills, knowledge, and other attributes common among high-scoring students. I know there are several of these hidden throughout the curriculum but I don't think they exist in aggregate.
I understand why D is the correct answer by process of elimination but I do not understand the "reason" why it is correct.
The only information given about the drug is that it is new and that it has various effects.
We do not know:
- the drug's intended effects (if the drug was meant to treat Jaundice, a condition in which the eyes become yellow, then observing the patient would be sufficient to know whether or not a drug was taken)
- the drugs known or potential side effects (either of which may be detrimental or beneficial aka. therapeutic)
We know McKinley states that a double-blind study is the most effective procedure for testing the efficacy of a drug. We don't know if the drug is being tested for efficacy or for anything else. We only know that a double-blind study will not be effective in this case because McKinley states that the drug in question will render the method ineffective.
