The LPN/LVN is aware that the bioavailability of a drug is based on multiple factors. Which factor(s) would be included?
Correct answer
A,B,E
Rationale
The correct factors affecting drug bioavailability are molecular weight, fat or liquid solubility, and presence of food. Molecular weight affects absorption rate, solubility influences how well a drug dissolves, and food can alter drug absorption. Depth of breathing and fever do not directly affect bioavailability.
