Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Context-specific tolerance is most influenced by the environment in which a drug is given, as it refers to the phenomenon where tolerance to a drug is greater in the environment or situation where it is typically used. This can be due to learned associations between the drug and the environment, such as with drugs of abuse. Pharmacodynamic tolerance, genetic tolerance, and metabolic tolerance are not as directly influenced by environmental factors.
