a) Faster
b) Slower
c) Equal
d) Variable

Answer 1

Oral medications have a faster onset of action than IM drugs.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is a) Faster. Oral medications have a faster onset of action than IM drugs. When a drug is administered orally, it has to go through the digestive system and be absorbed into the bloodstream, which takes time. On the other hand, IM drugs are injected directly into the muscle, allowing for quicker absorption into the bloodstream.
