Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

Rationale 1: A biotransformation reaction converts drugs from one form to another that can result in increased or decreased activity.
Rationale 2: Biotransformation is not the final step of excretion of a drug from the body.
Rationale 3: Biotransformation does not change the effect of a drug.
Rationale 4: Biotransformation is not the process of absorption.

Global Rationale: A biotransformation reaction converts drugs from one form to another that can result in increased or decreased activity. Biotransformation is the final step in excretion of a drug from the body; does not change the effect of a drug; is not the process of absorption.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 4, 5

Rationale 1: Because some drugs are excreted into breast milk, nursing mothers should check with their health care providers before taking any drugs or supplements.
Rationale 2: Urine is the major route of excretion for most drugs.
Rationale 3: Gastric juice is incorrect because it is not a route of excretion for drugs.
Rationale 4: Some drugs are excreted into the bile and are ultimately lost from the body in the feces.
Rationale 5: Some drugs are excreted by the lungs through expiration.

Global Rationale: Drugs can be excreted through breast milk, urine, feces, and the lungs. Gastric juice is incorrect because it is not a route of excretion for drugs.
