ANS: C

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




when theyreach the small intestine. There is usually some delay in onset of actions after taking these
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a




a medications. Enteric-coated tablets should not be crushed or chewed, which would alter thetime anda a a a a a a a a a a a a a




locationofabsorption. Acidic foods will not enhance the absorption of the medication. The patient
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a




a should not to eat high-fat food before ingesting an enteric-coated tablet, because high-fat foods
a a a a a a a a a a a a a




a decrease the absorption rate. a a a

4. A patient who is newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus asks why insulin must be given
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a




bysubcutaneous injection instead of bymouth. The nursewillexplain that this isbecause
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a




a. absorption is diminished bythe first-pass effects inthe liver. a a a a a a a a a




b. absorption is fasterwhen insulin isgiven subcutaneously. a a a a a a a




c. digestiveenzymes in the gastrointestinaltract prevent absorption. a a a a a a a




d. theoralformis less predictablewith more adverse effects.
a a a a a a a a a




a ANS: C a




Insulin, growth hormones, and other protein-based drugs are destroyed in the small intestine by
a a a a a a a a a a a a a




a digestive enzymes and must be given parenterally. Because insulin is destroyed by digestive
a a a a a a a a a a a a




a enzymes, it would not make it to the liver for metabolism witha first-pass effect.Subcutaneous tissue
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a




a has fewer blood vessels, so absorption is slower in such tissue. Insulin is given subcutaneously
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a




a because it is desirable to have it absorb slowly. a a a a a a a a

a ANS: C a




Food canstimulate theproduction ofgastricacid so medications requiring an acidicenvironment
a a a a a a a a a a a a a




a should be given with a meal. High-fat foods are useful for drugs that are lipid soluble.
