Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Biotransformation, which occurs in the liver, is likely to be affected in a client with liver disease. This can lead to altered metabolism and clearance of medications, as well as potentially increased toxicity of some drugs. Absorption, distribution, and excretion may also be affected, but to a lesser extent than biotransformation.
