Rationale 1: The drug is held by the plasma protein, and unable to reach its target cells.
Rationale 2: The drug is held by the plasma protein, and unable to reach its target cells.
Rationale 3: When the drug binds to a plasma protein, it is unable to reach its target cells.
Rationale 4: The drug is held by the plasma protein, and unable to reach its target cells.

Global Rationale: When the drug binds to a plasma protein, it is unable to reach its target cells. The other options are not true statements of what occurs when the drug binds to plasma.

Rationale 3: The presence of food, not water, in the GI tract slows the absorption of medication.
Rationale 4: Following the instructions of the prescriber can prevent slow absorption of a drug.
