Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nurse is maintaining the client's medication at a specific level in their bloodstream at all times, which is known as a plateau. The other options are not relevant to the specific action being taken by the nurse. The peak plasma level refers to the highest concentration of a medication in the bloodstream after administration, drug half-life refers to the time it takes for half of the medication to be eliminated from the body, and onset of action refers to the time it takes for a medication to begin producing an effect.
