Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, D
Absorption refers to passage of medication molecules from the site of administration into the blood. Factors that influence medication absorption are the route of administration, ability of a medication to dissolve, blood flow to the site of administration, body surface area, and lipid so-lubility of a medication. After a medication is absorbed, it moves throughout the body. The rate and extent of distribution depend on the physical and chemical properties of medications and the physiology of the person taking the medication.

Answer to Question 2

B
Any condition (e.g., fatigue, breathing difficulty, or depression) that drains a person's energy impairs the ability to learn. Postpone teaching when an illness becomes aggravated by complica-tions such as pain, fever, or respiratory difficulty. Letting the patient know it is time to learn, im-plementing role-play, and showing a video will not enhance learning. The crying needs to be ad-dressed first.
