What happens to the drug after it is absorbed across the GIT wall?

It is immediately excreted from the body

It stays solely in the circulation

It is only metabolized by the liver

It spreads and distributes throughout body fluids and tissues (correct)

Why is it important to consider both PK and PD knowledge when administering medications?

To understand the quality use of meds

To determine the best route of administration

To determine the optimal dose rate

To select the right drug for the right patient (correct)

What is the main reason why individualized drug doses are required for different patients?

Because patients have different organ pathology

Because patients have different heights

Because patients have different weights

Because patients have different responses to drugs (correct)
