ANS: B
An idiosyncratic effect occurs as an uncommon drug response resulting from a genetic predisposition.
An anaphylactic reaction occurs when there is an immune response by the body to a medication or allergen that causes the patient to experience bronchoconstriction, hypotension, and urticaria.
An iatrogenic response occurs when a disease or health alteration is caused by a drug.
Physical dependence occurs when the patient experiences a physical need for a drug; this is commonly seen with opioids.
