Intravenous drugs bypass the process of absorption and are:

A. sometimes excreted quickly
B. metabolized more slowly
C. distributed throughout the body
D. never required to be reconstituted

c
Rationale: Directly injected drugs bypass the process of absorption and are distributed throughout the body. Their rate of excretion is not generally as important as their absorption and distribution rates. Directly injected drugs are often metabo-lized more quickly, not slowly. Directly injected drugs are often available in a ready-to-be-injected solution, requiring no re-constitution.
