Answer 1

Answer:

Select the incorrect statement. A) Physical dependence is a physiological state of adaptation to a drug. B) Physical dependence can result in withdrawal symptoms when the use of the drug is abruptly stopped. C) Rebound effects are a form of withdrawal. D) Rebound effects usually mimic the effects of the drugs themselves.

The correct answer is Option D "Rebound effects usually mimic the effects of the drugs themselves."

Explanation:

A rebound effect is a drug after-effects that cause different symptoms. The rebound effect occurs after discontinuation of numerous classes of drugs that act contrary to the disease disorders, making the underlying sickness or diseases worst at levels above those prior to treatment, while making the development of symptoms that were not present or treated while taking a medication, appear when that same medication is stopped, or reduced in dosage.

A rebound effect is what happens when the body tries to bring itself back into balance. For instance, If a drug produces a rebound effect, the condition it was used to treat may return.

Therefore, Rebound effects does not mimic the effects of the drugs themselves.

Other Options in the question above are explained below for further understanding:

For Option A:

Physical Dependence is the result of physical changes in the brain, it is a physiological state of adaptation to a drug, usually characterized by the   emergence of a characteristic set of withdrawal symptoms during abstinence.

For Option B:

Drug withdrawal is a set of symptoms experienced when an individual suddenly stop or reduce chronic use of drugs. Physical dependence can result in withdrawal symptoms when drug is abruptly stopped. People who have been using high amounts of drugs for a long time tend to suffer the most severe withdrawal symptoms, making the body adjust to loss of a medication  that the individual has been using for a long time and become dependent on.

For Option C:

When an individual stopped taking medication and is 'rebounding' from the action (effect), the individual may experience a sleep disorder which indicates withdrawal.

Rebound effect is a phenomenon in which the withdrawal effects are often opposite to the effect of the drug that had been used.
