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 GItract.
// // // // // // // // // / / // // // // /



// 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 bymouth. 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.
// // // // // // // // // //
