1. A patient’s nutriti0nal intake and lab0rat0ry results reflect hyp0albuminemia. This is critical t0
prescribing because:
1. Distributi0n 0f drugs t0 target tissue may be affected.
2. The s0lubility 0f the drug will n0t match the site 0f abs0rpti0n.
3. There will be less free drug available t0 generate an effect.
4. Drugs b0und t0 albumin are readily excreted by the kidneys.
2. Drugs that have a significant first-pass effect:
1. Must be given by the enteral (0ral) r0ute 0nly
2. Bypass the hepatic circulati0n
3. Are rapidly metab0lized by the liver and may have little if any desired acti0n
4. Are c0nverted by the liver t0 m0re active and fat-s0luble f0rms
3. The r0ute 0f excreti0n 0f a v0latile drug will likely be the:

2. Lungs
3. Bile and feces

4. Medr0xypr0gester0ne (Dep0 Pr0vera) is prescribed intramuscularly (IM) t0 create a st0rage
