, Chapter 1: Pharmacokinetics & Pharmacodynamics
Question 1
A nursing student is preparing a presentation on the four main processes of
pharmacokinetics. The student would correctly explain that the process of
**metabolism** primarily occurs in which organ?
A. Kidneys
B. Liver
C. Stomach
D. Pancreas
Answer: B
Rationale: The liver is the primary site of drug metabolism, where enzymes
(particularly the cytochrome P450 system) biotransform drugs into more water-soluble
metabolites for excretion. While the kidneys are the primary site for **excretion**
(Option A), and some pre-systemic metabolism can occur in the stomach and intestine,
the liver is the central organ for this pharmacokinetic phase.
