Question

Jenna is interested in veterinary science. Her guidance counselor is laying out a course of classes that might help Jenna along her education path. When she looks at the counselor’s suggestions, Jenna balks. She does not understand why she would need to study chemistry to be a vet. Can you predict the MOST likely outcome if Jenna does not study chemistry before she becomes a veterinarian?

Jenna will get by just fine since there is no need for veterinarians to understand chemistry.

Jenna will be limited from going into research, but it will not have any effect if she becomes a small animal veterinarian.

Jenna will not understand how to perform emergency surgery on an animal in need of help.

Jenna might not be able to clearly explain how a drug will work to help treat an animal’s illness or disease.

Answer 1

D. Jenna might not be able to clearly explain how a drug will work to help treat an animal’s illness or disease.

Step-by-step explanation:

Chemistry would be essential to Jenna's understanding of what drugs will work to treat a pet's illness and why. If she did not understand this she could not explain this to a patient.
