Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the drug metabolism rate is decreased, excess drug accumulation can occur and lead to the client's developing toxicity. The GI membrane is made up of lipids; therefore, lipid medications are most easily absorbed across the digestive membrane of the stomach. Medications that are nonionized (neither positive nor negative) also pass through the GI membrane faster than those with a charge.
