The ____ strongly encourages veterinarians to report adverse event.

• A. Food and Drug Administration
• B. American Veterinary Medical Association
• C. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
• D. Environmental Protection Agency

Answer: (B)

Reporting adverse events in veterinary practice is about vigilant post‑market safety monitoring for drugs and vaccines to protect animal health. The American Veterinary Medical Association is the main professional organization for veterinarians and is the one that strongly emphasizes ethical responsibility and ongoing surveillance, actively encouraging clinicians to report any suspected adverse events. This aligns with the daily practice and duty of veterinarians to contribute to safety data and improve treatments. While FDA, CDC, and EPA regulate and monitor safety in various contexts, they are government agencies rather than the professional association that most directly promotes routine reporting by veterinarians.
