B. The solubility of the drug will not match the site of absorption.
C. There will be less free drug available to generate an effect.
D. Drugs bound to albumin are readily excreted by the kidneys.
ANS: A PTS: 1
2. Drugs that have a significant first-pass effect:
A. Must be given by the enteral (oral) route only
B. Bypass the hepatic circulation
C. Are rapidly metabolized by the liver and may have little, if any, desired action

C. Bile and feces
D. Skin
ANS: B PTS: 1
4. A major disadvantage to IV administration is that:
A. First-pass metabolism is eliminated.

C. When there is a high correlation between the dose and saturation of receptor sites
D. To determine if a drug is in the therapeutic range
ANS: D PTS: 1


9. A laboratory result indicates that the peak level for a drug is above the minimum toxic
concentration. This means that the:
