In medical terminology, "non-responsive" typically refers to a lack of reaction or response to a stimulus or treatment. It indicates that the individual is not showing the expected or desired response to a particular intervention or therapy. This term is commonly used in healthcare settings to describe a patient whose condition is not improving despite efforts to address it.
