Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a class about routes of medication administration. The nurse should include that which of the following routes has the fastest rate of absorption?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Intravenous. Intravenous route has the fastest rate of absorption because the medication is directly delivered into the bloodstream, bypassing the first-pass metabolism in the liver. This allows for rapid onset of action. Enteral route (
A) involves absorption through the gastrointestinal tract, which is slower. Intramuscular (
B) and topical (
D) routes have slower absorption rates compared to intravenous due to the need for the medication to be absorbed through muscle tissue or skin layers, respectively.
