Question 17 • VA_Pharmacology_A

Why is inhalation an appropriate route of administration for a condition such as asthma?

Answer
A
Inhaled drugs are delivered directly to the lungs, which are affected by an asthma attack.
B
Inhaled drugs offer the lowest possible dosing of a drug.
C
Inhaled drugs bypass the lungs to enter the bloodstream more quickly.
D
Inhaled drugs can provide the oxygen the child can’t get during an asthma attack.

Explanation

Asthma affects the airways in the lungs, so inhaling medication delivers it directly to the site where it is needed. This makes “Inhaled drugs are delivered directly to the lungs” the correct choice. Inhaled medicine does not provide oxygen, and it does not bypass the lungs to enter the bloodstream.
