Question 1 of 5
Which potential reaction causes the most concern when administering medication to a patient with decreased albumin and globulin levels?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. When a patient has decreased albumin and globulin levels, there is less protein available to bind with drugs, leading to more free protein-bound drugs in the system. This increases the potential for adverse drug reactions as these free drugs can have higher concentrations and effects.
Choice A is incorrect because decreased protein levels would not lead to an increase in lipid-soluble drugs but rather affect protein binding.
Choice C is incorrect as decreased protein levels would not affect the absorption of water-soluble drugs.
Choice D is incorrect as decreased protein levels would not directly impact the metabolism of protein-bound drugs.
