Answer to Question 1

A
Absorption refers to the passage of medication molecules into the blood from the site of administration. Medication is distributed within the body to tissues and organs to specific sites. After the medication reaches its site of action, it becomes metabolized (biotransformation).

Answer to Question 2

C
You will place the patient in Fowler's position before inserting the tube. Inserting normal saline into the tube aids in guidewire or stylet insertion. Aspirate the tube before tube feeding.

The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
