処方

The doctor prescribed the appropriate medicine according to the symptoms.

Practice Question

医師は症状に合わせて、適切な薬を ___ した。
Explanation

医師は症状に合わせて、適切な薬を ___ した。

English Explanation

"処方 (shohou)" means for a doctor to specify the type and dosage of medicine for a patient's symptoms (to prescribe). It fits the context best. "指示 (shiji)" means general instructions, "提供 (teikyou)" means to provide something, and "投与 (touyo)" refers to the actual act of administering medicine to a patient, making them unsuitable here.

日本語解説

「処方」は、医師が患者の症状に合わせて薬の種類や量を指示すること。文脈に最も合う。「指示」は一般的な命令や指図、「提供」は物を与えること、「投与」は実際に薬を患者に与える行為を指すため、不適切。
