a. Consumption of poppy seeds only generates a positive result for codeine, not v    

     morphine

            b. Poppy seeds turn amphetamine results positive.

            c. Poppy seeds contain mostly morphine and a small amount of codeine.

            d. Consumption of poppy seeds produce a positive result for oxycodone

Answer 1

Answer is option c

• Poppy seed contain morphine and codeine. Heroin is a derivative of morphine and heroin contains codeine.
• Consumption of poppy seed produces positive test for both morphine and codeine.
• Poppy seed doesn't turn amphetamine test positive as it doesn't contain amphetamine
• Poppy seed consumption doesn't produce positive oxycodone test. Because poppy seed don't have oxycodone in it. But this patient is taking oxycodone tablet for pain. Oxycodone excreted through urine . So consumption of oxycodone will result in positive test not by consumption of poppy seed.
