Medroxyprogesterone (Depo Provera) is prescribed intramuscularly (IM) to create a storage reservoir of the drug. Storage reservoirs:
 
  1. Assure that the drug will reach its intended target tissue
  2. Are the reason for giving loading doses
  3. Increase the length of time a drug is available and active
  4. Are most common in collagen tissues

Question 2

A patient's nutritional intake and laboratory results reflect hypoalbuminemia. This is critical to prescribing because:
 
  1. Distribution of drugs to target tissue may be affected.
  2. The solubility of the drug will not match the site of absorption.
  3. There will be less free drug available to generate an effect.
  4. Drugs bound to albumin are readily excreted by the kidneys.
