Which term describes the administration of medicines to treat a person?
Correct Answer:
Chemoprophylaxis
Explanation:
Treating a person with medicines is pharmacotherapy—the therapeutic use of drugs to cure or manage disease. Chemoprophylaxis, while it involves giving drugs, is aimed at preventing disease rather than treating an existing condition. Immunoprophylaxis refers to prevention through immune means (like vaccines or antibodies), and the other options aren’t related to using medicines for treatment. So the term that best fits treating is pharmacotherapy, though it isn’t listed among the choices; chemoprophylaxis describes prevention, not treatment.
