An empty stomach ________________ the rate of absorption for some medications
A. will always cause vomiting because of
B. decreases
C. increases
D. will always cause cramps because of
c
Rationale: Because this question refers to an empty stomach and "some" medications, "will always cause vomiting be-cause of" and "will always cause cramps because of" cannot apply because they contain the word "always." An empty stomach does not decrease the rate of absorption. The correct choice is
"increases" because absorption takes place more quickly when the stomach does not also contain food.
