Question

The following information is about drugs and tobacco. Select the correct statement from the options given below.

• A. Cocaine is given to patients after surgery as it stimulates recovery.
• B. Chewing tobacco lowers blood pressure and heart rate.
• C. Barbiturates when given to criminals makes them tell the truth.
• D. Morphine is often given to persons who have undergone surgery as a painkiller.

Hint:

Opioids like morphine are medically used for pain relief, especially after surgeries.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Morphine is a strong opioid analgesic frequently administered to patients after surgery to relieve severe pain. The other statements are incorrect as cocaine is a potent stimulant not used post-surgery, chewing tobacco actually raises blood pressure, and barbiturates are sedatives — they don’t make criminals confess the truth.
