This question is about Measurement and Evaluation 

Answer 1

In pharmacy, medications need to measured, tested and evaluated.  This is because medications contain chemical that can be harmful if given an overdose.  Pharmacists have to measure the dosage so people taking the medication consume the correct amount.  Too little, the medication takes no effect.  Too much, the medication can kill.  You must test for any defects.  Defective medication can also kill, and testing allows pharmacist to determine expiration dates.  Then evaluation gives it the approval to go to market.
