Question 1 • VA_Pharmacology_A

How does the route of administration affect the rest of the ADME scheme?

Answer
A
Administration is independent of the rest of the ADME scheme for most drugs.
B
Administration affects how quickly absorption happens and the rest of the scheme can occur.
C
Administration only influences the rate of absorption, but other steps are slower.
D
Administration in the only step that changes in the ADME scheme, regardless of the drug.

Explanation

The route of administration determines how a drug enters the body and can affect how quickly it is absorbed. Once absorbed, the drug can undergo the other ADME processes: distribution, metabolism, and excretion. Therefore, B is correct: administration affects how quickly absorption happens, after which the rest of the scheme can occur.
