In drug terminology, the act of selling, dispensing, giving away, or supplying in any other manner is described by which word?

• A. Deliver
• B. Dispense
• C. Manufacture
• D. Prescribe

Answer: (A)

Delivery is the act of transferring a drug to another person, covering selling, dispensing, giving away, or supplying in any other way. That broad sense fits the described action, since it encompasses all forms of handing over a drug to someone else. Dispense refers specifically to providing a medication (often a prescribed one) to a patient and is narrower. Manufacture is about making the drug, not transferring it. Prescribe is about authorizing use, not delivering the drug itself.
