Which organ may experience a decreased ability to remove toxins from the blood due to medication?

Heart
Lung
Kidney
Liver

The correct answer is: Liver

The correct answer is the liver. The liver plays a crucial role in metabolizing medications, breaking them down into forms that can be easily excreted from the body. Some medications can impair the liver's function, leading to a decreased ability to efficiently remove toxins from the blood. This can potentially result in medication toxicity or other complications. Options A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not primarily function to metabolize medications and remove toxins from the blood. The heart is responsible for pumping blood, the lungs for exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide, and the kidneys for filtering wastes from the blood to produce urine.
