Should Nina take the prescription sleep medication from her friend?

Yes, prescription drugs are safe for anyone to take.
No, prescription drugs should only be taken by the person for whom the prescription was written.
Yes, Nina is tired and really needs to sleep.
No, Nina should look up information about the medication on the Internet first to see if it is safe.

Answer 1

Answer: B. "No, prescription drugs should only be taken by the person for whom the prescription was written."

Step-by-step explanation:

Doctors who prescribe drugs know exactly what the patient needs. Nina might have hidden issues that might conflict with the drugs, but doesn't know it, therefore it would be dangerous to take prescription drugs that weren't prescribed specifically for that person.
