Question 1 of 5

A client presents to the healthcare setting with a diagnosis of chronic liver failure. The nurse understands this will affect which step of pharmacokinetics?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Metabolism. In chronic liver failure, the liver's ability to metabolize drugs is impaired due to decreased enzyme function. This affects drug metabolism, leading to potential drug toxicity or decreased efficacy. Absorption (
A) is not primarily affected by liver function. Excretion (
B) involves elimination of drugs from the body, typically through the kidneys, which may not be significantly impacted by liver failure. Distribution (
D) involves the movement of drugs throughout the body and is not directly influenced by liver function.
Therefore, the most significant impact of chronic liver failure on pharmacokinetics is on the metabolism of drugs.
