A nurse is preparing to give an oral dose of drug X to treat a
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
patient's high blood pressure. After giving the drug, the nurse
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
finds that it not only reduces the blood pressure without serious
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
harmful effects, but it also causes the patient to have nausea

and headache. Based on this information, which property of an
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
ideal drug is this drug lacking?
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Effectiveness |\
Safety |\
Selectivity |\
Ease of administration - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Selectivity
