Answer to Question 1

b

Answer to Question 2

Most drugs are removed by either urinary or biliary excretion, but some can be excreted via the lungs, bowel, and/or glands, depending on the chemical structure of the metabolite. Some drugs can be excreted in breast milk, which means that a nursing infant will be exposed to them. In addition, patients who are taking drugs excreted via the salivary glands may complain of taste changes.
