Which factor is used to help predict the safety of a drug dose for a client?

Potency
Efficacy
Frequency distribution curve
Graded dose response

The correct answer is: Frequency distribution curve

Frequency distribution curve is used to help predict the safety of a drug dose for a client. It allows healthcare providers to see how a population responds to various doses of a drug, helping them determine the most appropriate and safe dose for an individual. Potency refers to the strength of a drug, efficacy is the maximum effect a drug can produce, and graded dose response measures the relationship between drug dose and biological response. While these factors are important in pharmacology, they are not specifically used to predict the safety of a drug dose for a client like the frequency distribution curve.
