Opioid painkillers, such as oxycodone, are administered intravenously, meaning they are injected directly into the bloodstream. Such painkillers must be injected intravenously because if taken by any other method, the opioids will be processed by the liver before the opioids enter the bloodstream, rendering them useless by the time they reach their target cells. Certain non-opioid painkillers, however, contain chemical agents that are not processed by the liver. Therefore, such non-opioid painkillers can be administered in several different ways.
The statements above most strongly support a claim that the research accomplishment of which of the following would be beneficial to the users of opioid painkillers?
A. Determining, in a systematic way, what chemicals are naturally found in the human bloodstream and whether they tend to be processed by the liver.
B. Chemically altering, by procedures that work in the laboratory, the non-opioid painkillers that are not processed by the liver into opioids.
C. Permanently rendering the liver incapable of processing painkillers.
D. Combining oxycodone with compounds that prevent oxycodone from being processed by the liver but do not affect how target cells react to oxycodone.
E. Determining the amount of time each non-opioid painkiller takes to reach its target cells.
The OA will be automatically revealed on Thursday 28th of May 2026 07:00:21 PM Pacific Time Zone

conclusion- non-opioid painkillers can be administered in several different ways.
reason- liver dont process chemical agents that some no-opioid contain.
but opioid painkillers need to injected directly into bloodstream. because if done any other way, liver process it and by the time it reaches bloodstream, it renders it usefulness and make them useless.
A. Determining, in a systematic way, what chemicals are naturally found in the human bloodstream and whether they tend to be processed by the liver.
but this is not going to help in any way. just by knowing what chemicals are there wont be enough to back the conclusion.
B. Chemically altering, by procedures that work in the laboratory, the non-opioid painkillers that are not processed by the liver into opioids.
but any way non-opioid are not doing any harm so why you want to change anything in them chemically. reject.
C. Permanently rendering the liver incapable of processing painkillers.
irrelevant to discussion here. reject.
D. Combining oxycodone with compounds that prevent oxycodone from being processed by the liver but do not affect how target cells react to oxycodone.
then it make sense to go with the mentioned plan. if certain compounds cant be processed by liver and then when you mix it with oxycodone then we can inject them through other medium as well.
E. Determining the amount of time each non-opioid painkiller takes to reach its target cells.
even if it takes longer but as long as they keep their usefulness alive, its fine. so this doesnt make any sense. reject.

The question stem is saying: What research would make life better for an opioid user?
> Naturally, something that allows them to take their medicine without needing a needle every time.
A. Determining naturally found bloodstream chemicals and if they are processed by the liver.
This is a broad, data-gathering exercise that doesn't fix the core problem. Knowing what is already in the blood does nothing to help opioid users avoid needles.
B. Chemically altering non-opioid painkillers into opioids.
If you turn a non-opioid into an opioid, the new drug will now face the same liver-destruction problem. This completely defeats the purpose and doesn't help current users.
C. Permanently rendering the liver incapable of processing painkillers.
This is a dangerous, extreme choice. Permanently breaking a major organ's natural function would cause severe medical harm to the patient just to deliver a drug.
D. Combining oxycodone with compounds that prevent oxycodone from being processed by the liver but do not affect how target cells react to oxycodone.
This directly solves the issue by creating a shield around the opioid. It allows the drug to survive the liver intact and work perfectly without needing an IV injection.
E. Determining the amount of time each non-opioid painkiller takes to reach its target cells.
Gathering speed data on non-opioid drugs is completely irrelevant here. It provides zero practical benefit or structural relief to patients who rely on opioids.
Ans D
