Answer to Question 1

C
30 mL of water is administered before the medications, 15 to 30 mL of water is administered after each of the first two medications, and 30 to 60 mL is administered after the third medication, so 90 to 150 mL of water is needed.

Answer to Question 2

A
Administering a medication by the sublingual route involves placing the solid medication in the mouth under the tongue until the medication dissolves. Crushing the medication is not necessary because it is designed to dissolve under the tongue. Patients are not to take any liquids with medications given by sublingual administration or immediately afterward. The mouth is not sterile. Sterile technique is not necessary for sublingual administration.
