A nursing instructor is teaching pharmacology to student nurses. What will the nursing instructor include as the four major components of pharmacokinetics?

how drugs are converted to a form that is easily removed from the body
how drugs are removed from the body
how drugs are transported throughout the body
how drugs move from site of administration to circulating fluids

The correct answer is: how drugs are converted to a form that is easily removed from the body

The correct answer is how drugs are converted to a form that is easily removed from the body. Pharmacokinetics involves the four major components of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of drugs in the body. This includes how drugs are absorbed into the bloodstream, distributed to various tissues, metabolized or converted into different forms by the body, and finally excreted or removed from the body. Options B, C, and D only focus on individual aspects of pharmacokinetics and do not encompass all four major components.
