enteric-

x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x @ x@ x@ x@ x@



a. I may crush the tablet and put it in applesauce to improve absorption.
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@



b. I should consume acidic foods to enhance absorption of this medication.
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@



c. I should expect a delay in onset of the drugs effects after taking the tablet.
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@



d. I should take this medication with high-
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@



fat foods to improve its action. ANS: C

Enteric-
coated tablets resist disintegration in the acidic environment of the stomach and disintegr

ate when they reach the small intestine. There is usually some delay in onset of actions a
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@



fter taking these medications. Enteric-
x@ x@ x@ x@



coated tablets should not be crushed or chewed, which would alter the time and location
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@



of absorption. Acidic foods will not enhance the absorption of the medication. The patient
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@



should not to eat high-fat food before ingesting an enteric-coated tablet, because high-

fat foods decrease the absorption rate.

st be given by subcutaneous injection instead of by mouth. The nurse will explain that th

is is because
x@ x@



a. absorption is diminished by the first-pass effects in the liver.
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@



b. absorption is faster when insulin is given subcutaneously.
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@ x@



c. digestive enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract prevent absorption.

d. the oral form is less predictable with more adverse eff

Insulin, growth hormones, and other protein-
x@ x@ x@ x@ x@



based drugs are destroyed in the small intestine by digestive enzymes and must be given

pass effect. Subcutaneous tissue has fewer blood vessels, so absorption is slower in such

tissue. Insulin is given subcutaneously because it is desirable to have it absorb slowly.
