Answer to Question 1

A
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.

Answer to Question 2

B
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.
