Question: 1 / 400

What does the term "adulteration" mean in the context of drug quality?

Keeping drugs after their expiration date

Dispensing drugs without prescription

Drug quality is not up to standard

Adulteration in the context of drug quality refers to when a substance has been removed, substituted, or added to a drug without proper labeling or disclosure, which can affect the potency, purity, or safety of the drug. This choice is the most accurate because it directly relates to the manipulation of the quality of the drug. A is incorrect because it only refers to the expiration date and not the physical makeup of the drug. B is incorrect because it only refers to the dispensing of drugs without prescription, which is a regulatory issue, rather than a quality issue. D is incorrect because it only mentions the labeling of the drug, but not any actual manipulation of the drug itself.
