b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




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


they reach the small intestine. There is usually some delay in onset of actions after taking these
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b


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

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. b b b b b b b




c. digestive enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract prevent absorption.

d. the oral form is less predictable with more adverse effects. CORRECT ANSWER: C
b b b b b b b b b b b b




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

benzymes 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

bvessels, so absorption is slower in such tissue. Insulin is given subcutaneously because it is desirable to
