Question 4 of 5
Drugs showing zero-order kinetics of elimination
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Zero-order kinetics involve a constant amount eliminated per time, not exponential (first-order), and are less common. B is incorrect in context, but the answer 'b' aligns with typical pharmacokinetics texts correcting to first-order traits; intended answer may be 'd' (linear plot), but document specifies 'b'.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is administering drugs to neonates and will consider which factor may contribute the most to drug toxicity?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A neonate's liver is not fully developed and cannot detoxify many drugs. The other options are incorrect. The lungs and kidneys do not play major roles in drug metabolism. Renal excretion is slow, not fast, because of organ immaturity, but this is not the factor that contributes the most to drug toxicity.
