Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The intravenous route is the preferred route for electrolyte administration when the body is unable to absorb electrolytes given orally. It is also the preferred route when the body will not absorb electrolytes quickly enough to prevent life-threatening complications. The intramuscular, subcutaneous, and intradermal routes do not help in absorption of electrolytes as fast as the intravenous route. Thus, these routes are not preferred.
