Answer to Question 1

When administering a medication buccally, place the medication in the mouth against the cheek until it dissolves completely. Swallowing the medication changes the route of administration and alters absorption.

TSE can be performed on a male with an undescended testicle by grasping the testis with both hands and feeling the entire surface between the thumb and forefinger.
