First-Order Elimination Pharmacokinetics

A process in which the amount or concentration of drug in the body diminishes linearly over time

A process in which the amount or concentration of drug in the body diminishes logarithmically over time (correct)

A process in which the amount or concentration of drug in the body remains constant over time

A process in which the amount or concentration of drug in the body increases over time

The time required for the drug to reach its peak concentration

The time required for the drug to be absorbed into the body

The time required to eliminate one-half of the drug (correct)

The time required to eliminate all of the drug

The rate of elimination is proportional to the drug concentration (correct)

The rate of elimination is not related to drug concentration

The rate of elimination is inversely proportional to the drug concentration

The rate of elimination is constant regardless of drug concentration
