Question

select the correct answer. which is an example of a drug - nutrient interaction? a. bacterial overgrowth b. changes in absorption c. decreased sense of smell d. poor appetite e. reduced acuity of taste sensation

Explanation:

Drug - nutrient interactions can affect the absorption, metabolism, or excretion of nutrients. Changes in absorption can occur when drugs interfere with the normal processes by which nutrients are taken up in the digestive system. Bacterial overgrowth is more related to gut microbiota imbalance not directly a drug - nutrient interaction. Decreased sense of smell, poor appetite, and reduced taste acuity are more related to sensory or general physiological effects rather than direct drug - nutrient interactions.

Answer:

B. changes in absorption
