Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The Z-track method is used to prevent staining of the skin. It does not affect absorption. The gluteal site is preferred, and, generally, the needle is a larger bore.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Drugs given sublingually should be placed under the tongue. No foods or fluids should be given, since the tablet must remain under the tongue until it is fully absorbed. Medications ordered to be given buccally should be placed between the cheek and gum.
