Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

A, B
The rate and extent of distribution depend on circulation, cell membrane permeability, and protein binding. Peripheral vascular disease and heart failure result in a decrease in circulation, which reduces distribution. Liver disease causes a reduction in plasma proteins, which results in more free active drug that is distributed more readily. Obesity does not affect distribution.
