gwd-1-Q18:

It is illegal to advertise prescription medications in Hedland except in professional medical journals or by mail directly to physicians.  A proposed law would allow general advertising of prescription medications.  Opponents object that, in general, laypersons lack 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, the objection provides no grounds for concern.

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

1. Whether nonprescription medications can interact with and block the action of any prescription medications that could be advertised to the general public
   
2. Whether most prescription medication advertisements directed at the general public would be advertisements for recently developed medications newly available by prescription
   
3. Whether prescription medication advertisements directed at the general public would appear on television and radio as well as in print
   
4. Whether physicians are more likely to pay attention to advertising directed to the general public than to advertising directed to physicians
   
5. Whether physicians are likely to succumb to pressure from patients to prescribe inappropriate medications

正确答案E选项我不大理解：（屈服于病人的压力而开出不合适的药方）既然屈服了为什么还会开不合适的药方呢  ？

The reasoning is as follows:

If a medicine is advertised, the patient knows about this medicine. He will ask his doctor(physician) to prescribe it for him just because he thought it was popular. Suppose the medicine is not appropriate for the patient due to his health condition but he doesn't know, the physician need to choose whether to prescrible the medicine or not. That is the pressure. If the physician succumbs to the pressure, which means he will prescribe the medicine just because the patient asked for it, it will not be good for the patient.
