Question 1 of 5
The client is curious about the movement of the medication through his body. The client asks the nurse the name of the concept in which the medication moves from the site of administration, across body membranes, and to the circulating fluids/bloodstream. How should the nurse best respond to explain this pharmacokinetic concept?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Absorption. Absorption refers to the movement of a medication from the site of administration, across body membranes, and into the bloodstream. This process is crucial for the medication to reach its target site and produce the desired effect. Duration of action (
A) refers to how long a medication remains active in the body once it has been absorbed. Diffusion (
C) is the process by which substances move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, but it is not specific to medication movement through the body. Onset of action (
D) refers to the time it takes for a medication to start producing its effect after administration, which is related to but distinct from absorption.
