Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The nurse should be aware that of all the parenteral injection methods, intravenous medications are most rapidly absorbed. Enteral, not parenteral, indicates medication administration by way of the digestive tract. The intradermal method of administration is an example of parenteral administration by injection. The absorption rate of oral medications given via enteral methods is slower, which results in a slowed onset of action.
