a. Intramuscular cephalosporins
b. Intravenous vasopressors
c. Oral analgesics
d. Subcutaneous antiglycemics
CORRECT CHOICE: C
RATIONALE :->>>When medication s are administered parenterally, there is no pharmaceutic
phase, which occurs when a medication becomes a solution that can cross the biologic
membrane.

2. The professional nurse is preparing to administer an oral medication and wants to
ensure a rapid medication action. Which form of the medication will the professional
nurse administer?
a. Capsule
b. Enteric-coated pill
c. Liquid suspension
d. Tablet
ANS: C
RATIONALE :->>>Liquid medication s are already in solution, which is the form necessary
for absorption in the GI tract.The other forms must disintegrate into small particles and then
dissolve before being absorbed.

3. The professional nurse is teaching a client who will be discharged home with a prescription
for an enteric-coated tablet. Which statement by the client 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 medication s effects after taking the tablet.
d. I should take this medication with high-fat foods to improve its action.
CORRECT CHOICE: C
RATIONALE :->>>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 actionsafter 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 ofthe medication. The client should not to eat high-fat food before ingesting an
enteric-coated tablet, because high-fat foods decrease the absorption rate.

4. A client who is newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus asks why insulin must be
given by subcutaneous injection instead of by mouth. The professional 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.
CORRECT CHOICE: C
RATIONALE :->>>Insulin, growth hormones, and other protein-based medication s are
destroyed in the small intestine bydigestive 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. Subcutaneoustissue has fewer blood vessels, so absorption is slower in such
tissue. Insulin is given subcutaneously because it is desirable to have it absorb slowly.
