What happens during absorption from a pharmacological perspective?

  1. Drug is excreted

  2. Drug moves into PVC container

  3. Drug gets metabolized

  4. Drug acts on its target site

The correct answer is: Drug moves into PVC container

Absorption is the process by which a drug moves from its site of administration into the bloodstream, allowing it to reach its target site of action in the body. Therefore, the correct answer is B, where the drug moves into the bloodstream rather than being excreted, metabolized, or acting on its target site during absorption. It is important for pharmacists to understand the absorption process to ensure proper dosing and effectiveness of medications for patients.
