Question 13

For transdermal medications to be absorbed through the skin must they be water or fat-soluble? What implications does this have to the administering nurse?

Answer 13

• Fat-soluble
• Will also absorb through nurses skin.

Answer 14

Skin (resist abrasion)

Question 15

What anatomy and physiology of the hypodermis (subcutaneous) facilitates its use as an injection site?

Answer 15

• No nerve endings (pain-free)
• Adipose (Slow absorption)
• Vascular (Continues Absorption)
• 0.5 – 1.0 mL
• Not for irritating medications

Answer 16

• Vasocontractions (conserve heat)
• Vasodilation (lose heat through evaporation of sweat)

Question 17

How would pulling the bed clothes over a patient with a raised body temperature (pyrexia) interfere with this regulatory mechanism?

Answer 17

- Reduce heat loss - Temperature may rise further
