protein binding - Correct Answer protein (usually albumin) binds to medication to help
chemicals move through. When the medication is bound to the protein it is not available
to perform its action the body

the__________________and it performs the pharmacologic response

antacids drug absorption - Correct Answer Antacids cause a pharmokinetic interaction
which is what the body does to the drug in terms of absorption, distribution, metabolism,
and excretion. Antacids increase the PH of gastric juices which causes a decrease in
the absorption of weak acid drugs such as tetracycline
gastric and intestinal motility influence drug absorption. - Correct Answer Drug
absorption is the movement of the drug into the bloodstream after administration
(McCuistion & Vuljoin-Dimmagio, 2018, p. 16). The lining of the small intestine is
covered in villi that increase the the surface area for absorption and is decreased
because of disease or drugs (p.16). Absorption in the small intestine is done by passive
transport, active transport, or pinocytosis (p.16). In the GI tract the lining is made up of a
mucous membrane composes of lipids and proteins which allows lipid soluble drugs to
easily pass through (p. 16-17). If the drug is water soluble it will need a protein or
enzyme carrier to pass through (p.17).
