what is the main role of the food and drug administration (fda) regarding medications? * 1 point
○ to ban all foreign - made medications from the united states.
○ to determine which medications are sold over - the - counter and which require a prescription.
○ to distribute medications directly to pharmacies and hospitals.
○ to set the price for all prescription drugs.
true or false: the only reason people take medications is to cure a disease. * 1 point
○ false
○ true

Explanation:

• For the first question: The FDA's role includes regulating medications. Banning all foreign - made meds (A) is incorrect as it doesn't ban all. Distributing meds (C) is not its role. Setting drug prices (D) is not its main role. Determining OTC vs prescription (B) is a key FDA function.
• For the second question: People take meds for prevention (e.g., vaccines), symptom relief (e.g., painkillers for headache), not just to cure disease. So the statement is false.

Answer:

• First question: B. To determine which medications are sold over - the - counter and which require a prescription.
• Second question: False.
