1. according to the u.s. food and drug administration (fda), most drugs prescribed for children:

a: produce little to no negative reactions b: cause irreparable harm
c: are harmless d: have not been tested on that age group

Explanation:

1. Hemostatic agents are used to decrease blood flow. Generic extracts are plant - based substances, hormones are chemical messengers, and glycosides are a type of chemical compound.
2. In medical abbreviations, "h.s." stands for "at bedtime". "a.b." is not a standard abbreviation for this, "b.t.m." is not a recognized abbreviation for bedtime, and "p.m." means "afternoon/evening" but not specifically "at bedtime".
3. A tablet is a dosage form. Dosage strength refers to the amount of drug in a dose, supply dosage is not the correct term for a tablet's classification.
4. A drug formulary is a list of drugs that meet certain criteria (like therapeutic effectiveness). The drug red book is a pricing guide, the blue book is not relevant in this context, and the national drug formulary is a more specific (and in some cases, a type of) drug formulary but the general term is drug formulary.
5. Many drugs prescribed for children have not been adequately tested on that age group. Just because a drug is prescribed does not mean it produces little to no negative reactions (A), causes irreparable harm (B) is too extreme as a general statement, and "are harmless" (C) is incorrect as most drugs have some side - effects.

Answer:

1. A. hemostatic
2. A. h.s.
3. B. dosage form
4. B. drug formulary
5. D. have not been tested on that age group
