Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reviewing the phases of pharmacokinetics. Which of the following phases is the change of a drug into a less or more potent or more soluble form after it passes through the liver?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Metabolism. Metabolism is the phase where a drug is chemically modified in the liver to either become more potent, less potent, or more soluble. This process is crucial in determining the drug's effectiveness and potential side effects. Excretion (
A) is the removal of the drug from the body, absorption (
B) is the movement of the drug into the bloodstream, and distribution (
C) is the movement of the drug throughout the body. These phases do not involve the chemical alteration of the drug like metabolism does.
