Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) is an excellent choice for noncompliant clients and small children. This tablet is placed on the client's tongue and it dissolves instantly, thus ensuring medication compliance. Sublingual medications are administered under the tongue. Buccal administration involves placing the medication between the client's cheek and gum. The client should be instructed not to chew or break up the ODT tablet, because this interferes with the timing of the drug's release.
