chapter 1: pharmacokinetics
multiple choice:
1. which drugs will go through a pharmaceutic phase after it is
administered?
a. intramuscular cephalosporins
b. intravenous vasopressors
c. oral analgesics
d. subcutaneous antiglycemics ANS>>c
when drugs are administered parenterally, there is no pharmaceutic phase,
which occurs when a drug becomes a solution that can cross the biologic
membrane.

2. the nurse is preparing to administer an oral medication and wants to
ensure a rapid drug action. which form of the medication will the nurse
administer?
a. capsule
b. enteric-coated pill
c. liquid suspension
d. tablet ANS>>c

,liquid drugs are already in solution, which is the form necessary for absorption
in the gi tract. the other forms must disintegrate into small particles and then
dissolve before being absorbed.

3. the nurse is teaching a patient who will be discharged home with a
prescription for an enteric- coated tablet. which statement by the patient
indicates understanding of the teaching?
a. i may crush the tablet and put it in applesauce to improve absorption.
b. i should consume acidic foods to enhance absorption of this medication.
c. i should expect a delay in onset of the drugs effects after taking the tablet.
d. i should take this medication with high-fat foods to improve its action.
ANS>>c
enteric-coated tablets resist disintegration in the acidic environment of the
stomach and disintegrate when they reach the small intestine. there is usually
some delay in onset of actions after taking these medications. enteric-coated
tablets should not be crushed or chewed, which would alter the time and
location of absorption. acidic foods will not enhance the absorption of the
medication. the patient should not to eat high-fat food before ingesting an
enteric-coated tablet, because high-fat foods decrease the absorption rate.

4. a patient who is newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus asks why
insulin must be given by subcutaneous injection instead of by mouth. the nurse
will explain that this is because
a. absorption is diminished by the first-pass effects in the liver.
b. absorption is faster when insulin is given subcutaneously.
c. digestive enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract prevent absorption.
d. the oral form is less predictable with more adverse effects. ANS>>c
insulin, growth hormones, and other protein-based drugs are destroyed in the
small intestine by digestive enzymes and must be given parenterally. because
insulin is destroyed by digestive enzymes, it would not make it to the liver for
metabolism with a first-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.
