,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.

Enteric-
coated tablets resist disintegration in the acidic environment of the stomach and disintegrate when t

ations. Enteric- T




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

, Insulin, growth hormones, and other protein-

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

y. Because insulin is destroyed by digestive enzymes, it would not make it to the liver for metabolis

m with a first-

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

lin is given subcutaneously because it is desirable to have it absorb slowly.
