Answer to Practice Problem #1 for Effect of Route of Administration on Xenobiotic Disposition & Action Tutorial:
True. When drug is
administered as a solution, disintegration and dissolution are not processes
that need to take place. Thus, the rate-limiting step is delivery to the site
of absorption (i.e., the small intestine), which is determined by the rate of
emptying of the stomach.
