Question 1 of 5
A client has poor blood circulation. The nurse is concerned about which process of pharmacokinetics?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
Correct Answer: A (Distribution)
Rationale: Poor blood circulation affects the distribution of drugs in the body. It hinders the proper transport of drugs to target tissues, leading to suboptimal therapeutic effects. This can result in drug accumulation or toxicity due to decreased clearance. Distribution is a crucial phase of pharmacokinetics that involves the movement of drugs from the bloodstream to various body tissues. In the case of poor circulation, the drugs may not reach their intended sites of action efficiently, impacting their effectiveness.
Summary of other choices:
B: Excretion - Poor circulation does not directly affect the elimination of drugs from the body.
C: Metabolism - Poor circulation does not primarily impact the body's ability to metabolize drugs.
D: Absorption - Poor circulation mainly affects the distribution of drugs once they are absorbed into the bloodstream.
