The nurse is preparing an intramuscular (IM) injection for a patient with strep throat. What principles of absorption may have guided the health care provider's decision to order the medication by IM route?
 
  1. IM drugs are rapidly absorbed.
  2. IM drugs bypass the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in increased absorption.
  3. IM drugs avoid drug?drug and food?drug interactions, which can decrease absorption.
  4. IM drugs have the ability to accumulate in the muscle and may remain in the body for an extended amount of time.
  5. IM drugs bypass the gastrointestinal tract and are delivered to the small intestine, where most medications are rapidly absorbed.
