A physician prescribes a cream that should be rubbed directly onto a patient’s rash to treat it. The cream can make the patient sensitive to the sun where the cream is applied.Which of these effects is demonstrated in this example? Check all that apply.system effectslocal effectsside effectssynergistic effectscombinatorial effects

Answer
A
system effects
B
local effects
C
side effects
D
synergistic effects
E
combinatorial effects

Explanation

The cream is applied directly to the rash, so its treatment effect occurs at the application site; this is a local effect. Increased sun sensitivity where the cream is applied is an additional, unintended effect, so it is a side effect. The example does not describe a whole-body (systemic) effect or two drugs working together.
