enteric- zcoated ztablet. zWhich zstatement zby zthe zpatient z indicates zunderstanding zof zthe
z
teaching?
z
a. Izmay zcrush zthe ztablet zand zput zit zin zapplesauce zto zimprove zabsorption.
b. I zshould z consume zacidic zfoodszto zenhance zabsorption zof zthis zmedication.
c. I z should z expect z a zdelay zin zonset z of zthe zdrugs zeffects zafter ztaking zthe ztablet.
d. I zshould ztake zthis zmedication zwithzhigh-fat zfoodszto zimprove zits
action. zANS: zC
z
Enteric-coated ztablets zresist zdisintegration zin zthe zacidic zenvironment zof zthe zstomach zand
disintegrate zwhen zthey zreach zthe zsmall zintestine. zThere zis zusually zsome zdelay zin zonset zof
z
actions zafter ztaking zthese zmedications. zEnteric-coated ztablets zshould znot zbe zcrushed zor
z
chewed, zwhich zwould zalter zthe ztime zand zlocation zof zabsorption. zAcidic zfoods zwill znot
z
enhance zthe zabsorption zof zthe zmedication. zThe zpatient zshould znot zto zeat zhigh-fat zfood
z

4. A zpatient zwho zis znewly zdiagnosed zwith ztype z1 zdiabetes zmellitus zasks zwhy zinsulin
must zbe zgiven zby zsubcutaneous zinjection zinstead zof zbyzmouth. zThe znurse zwillzexplain zthat
z
this zis zbecause
z
a. absorption zis z diminished z byzthe zfirst-pass zeffects zin zthe zliver.
b. absorption zis zfaster zwhen zinsulin zis zgiven zsubcutaneously.
c. digestive zenzymes zin zthe zgastrointestinalztract zprevent zabsorption.
d. the zoral zformzis zless zpredictablezwith zmore zadverse
effects. zANS: zC
z
Insulin, zgrowth zhormones, zand zother zprotein-based zdrugs zare zdestroyed zin zthe zsmall
intestine zby zdigestive zenzymes zand zmust zbe zgiven zparenterally. zBecause zinsulin zis
z
destroyed zby zdigestive zenzymes, zit zwould znot zmake zit zto zthe zliver zfor zmetabolism zwithza
z
first-pass zeffect.zSubcutaneous ztissue zhas zfewer zblood zvessels, zso zabsorption zis zslower zin
z
such ztissue. zInsulin zis zgiven zsubcutaneously zbecause zit zis zdesirable zto zhave zit zabsorb
z
slowly.
