Answer to Question 1

D
Parenteral medications can be intramuscular, subcutaneous, intradermal, epidural, or intravenous. Medications given orally are given by mouth. Topical medications are applied on the skin (as a cream or patch) and as eye/eardrops. Sublingual medications are given under the tongue.

Answer to Question 2

B
Avoid giving oral medications to patients with alterations in gastrointestinal function (e.g., nausea and vomiting), reduced motility (after general anesthesia or inflammation of the bowel), or surgical resection of a portion of the gastrointestinal tract. Oral medications cannot be given when the patient has gastric suctioning and are contraindicated in patients before some tests or surgery. Oral administration is contraindicated in patients who are NPO and unable to swallow (e.g., patients with neuromuscular disorders, esophageal strictures, or lesions of the mouth).
