Enteric-

8 asks v why insulin must 8be given

8 vof by mouth. The
8 v nurse will explain8 v 8 v 8 v 8 v 8 v
that this is because
8 v 8 v 8 v
a. absorption 8 v is 8 v diminished 8 v by 8 v the 8 v first-pass 8 v effects 8 v in 8 v the 8 v liver.
b. absorption 8 v is 8 v faster 8 v when 8 v insulin 8 v is 8 v given 8 v subcutaneously.
c. digestive 8 v enzymes 8 v in 8 v the 8 v gastrointestinal 8 v tract 8 v prevent 8 v absorption.
d. the 8 v oral 8 v form 8 v is 8 v less 8 v predictable 8 v with 8 v more 8 v adverse 8 v effects.
8 CORRECT
v 8 v ANSWER: C Insulin, growth hormones, 8 v 8v 8 v 8 v 8 v and 8 v other protein- 8 v
based drugs 8 v 8 v are destroyed in the
