Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3, 4

Rationale 1: Age, kidney and liver disease, genetics, and other factors can dramatically affect metabolism.
Rationale 2: Age, kidney and liver disease, genetics, and other factors can dramatically affect metabolism.
Rationale 3: Age, kidney and liver disease, genetics, and other factors can dramatically affect metabolism.
Rationale 4: Age, kidney and liver disease, genetics, and other factors can dramatically affect metabolism.
Rationale 5: Kidney disease affects the excretion of drugs, not the metabolism of drugs.

Global Rationale: Age, kidney and liver disease, genetics, and other factors can dramatically affect metabolism. Kidney disease affects the excretion of drugs, not the metabolism of drugs.

Rationale 2: This is a barrier to the distribution of medications.
Rationale 3: This is a barrier to the distribution of medications.
Rationale 4: There is no bloodlung barrier.
