Question 1 of 5

What term is used to describe the movement of a drug from its site of administration to the bloodstream?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Absorption is the correct answer. Absorption refers to the process of a drug moving from its site of administration (e.g., the gastrointestinal tract) into the bloodstream. This is a crucial step for the drug to reach its target site and exert its pharmacological effects. Distribution (
A) occurs after absorption, where the drug is transported in the bloodstream to various tissues and organs. Metabolism (
B) is the process of the body breaking down the drug into different compounds, usually to facilitate its excretion. Excretion (
C) is the removal of the drug or its metabolites from the body, typically through urine or feces.
Therefore, absorption best describes the initial movement of the drug into the bloodstream.
