ANS: A
A placebo effect is caused by psychological factors, not physiological factors.
A placebo effect does not determine whether a patient has an illness.
A placebo is ordered for various reasons; each is individualized and not for specific classifications of drugs only.
A placebo effect may or may not be positive; depending on what the patient believes is the effect on the body.
