A nurse is preparing to administer a medication that undergoes enterohepatic recirculation.What should be considered when administering this drug?
The drug will have a longer, not shorter, half-life due to repeated reabsorption and recirculation.
Enterohepatic recirculation refers to the process by which a drug or its metabolites are excreted into bile, reabsorbed from the intestines, and returned to the liver.Medications that undergo enterohepatic recirculation can have a longer half-life due to repeated reabsorption and recirculation.
Enterohepatic recirculation can affect half-life but does not directly affect bioavailability.
