The nurse administers medications by various routes of delivery. The nurse recognizes which route of administration as requiring higher dosages of drugs to achieve a therapeutic effect?
-
Intravenous route
-
Oral route
-
Rectal route
-
Sublingual route
Correct Answer
A. Oral routeExplanation
The oral route of administration requires higher dosages of drugs to achieve a therapeutic effect. This is because the drugs taken orally have to pass through the digestive system, where they may undergo metabolism and degradation before being absorbed into the bloodstream. Therefore, a higher dosage is needed to compensate for the potential loss of drug efficacy during the absorption process. In contrast, drugs administered intravenously, rectally, or sublingually bypass the digestive system and are directly absorbed into the bloodstream, resulting in a more immediate and efficient drug delivery.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Under the tongueExplanation
The nurse instructs the patient to place the sublingual nitroglycerin tablet under the tongue.

Placing the tablet on top of the tongue, at the back of the throat, or in the space between the cheek and the gum would not allow for proper absorption of the medication.Rate this question:
