Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Food in the GI tract can interfere with the dissolution and absorption of some drugs. However, there are specific drugs that should be taken with food to enhance absorption.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Drugs must be in solution to be absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract. Because liquid drugs are already in solution, they are absorbed faster than drugs in a solid form.
