[求助]prep2-35

It is illegal to advertise prescription medications in Hedland except directly to physicians, either by mail or in medical journals. A proposed law would allow general advertising of prescription medications. Opponents object that the general population lacks the specialized knowledge to evaluate such advertisements and might ask their physicians for inappropriate medications. But since physicians have the final say as to whether to prescribe a medication for a patient, inappropriate prescriptions would not become more common.

Which of the following would it be most useful to establish in order to evaluate the argument?

(A) Whether advertising for prescription medications might alert patients to the existence of effective treatments for minor ailments that they had previously thought to be untreatable

(B) Whether some people might go to a physician for no reason other than to ask for a particular medication they have seen advertised

(C) Whether the proposed law requires prescription-medication advertisements directed to the general public to provide the same information as do advertisements directed to physicians

(D) Whether advertisements for prescription medications are currently an important source of information about newly available medications for physicians

(E) Whether physicians would give in to a patient's demand for a prescription medication chosen by the patient when the one originally prescribed by the physician fails to perform as desired

answer is E.

想问一下，答案D 为什么不对啊？

如果医生也被广告误导了呢？当医生的inforamtion 也是来源于广告的，医生可能也会给出inappropriate medications 啊！

把题目翻译了：

在 Hedland ，除了直接对内科大夫做处方药广告之外，对公众打处方药广告是违法的，无论是用邮件的方式还是用药学杂志的方式。目前一个法律提案希望能够使得对处方药的普通广告合法化。反对者则声称说，如果该法案执行的话，由于普通老百姓缺乏评价此类广告的专业知识，所以他们很可能向他们的内科大夫要求一些不合适的处方药品。但是由于内科大夫有拒绝给病人开据某类药品的最终权力，所以这些不合适的处方开据将不会非常的普遍。

评价：

A 是否处方药的广告可能告知病人某些他们之前认为无法治愈的一些小病的有效治疗手段

B 是否会有人毫无理由的找内科大夫要求开具某类药品仅仅因为他们看见了该药品的广告。

C 是否该法律提案要求对公众的处方药广告要和对内科大夫的处方药广告一样提供相同的药品信息。

D 是否处方药广告目前是对内科大夫了解新发明药物的一个重要的信息源

E 是否内科大夫会屈从于病人对于某类处方药的要求尽管这类药物在当时所有的治疗用药中并没有表现出很好的疗效

这个题目选择E是毋庸置疑的。

题目的根本是在讨论是否应该让处方药广告合法化讨论首先指出 : 合法化后可能会带来的由于病人的专业知识的缺乏而造成的药物误用，但之后被反驳：尽管病人对药物知识缺乏，但是内科大夫不缺乏而且内科大夫有最后处方的决定权

而E正好对上述反驳的有效性进行了评价所以是很有用的评价

但是D却是一个无关选项，换言之目前我们讨论的核心是病人了解处方药之后的后果，这个后果和内科大夫了解药品是无关的。换句话说就算内科大夫对药品很了解或者很不了解，对于是否让该药品对公众广告都是无关的。所以是一个无关的干扰项

不知道这么解释LZ能不能明白
