Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, B
Feedback:
Topical drugs are drugs that are applied to the outer layer of the skin but not absorbed through the skin, such as eyedrops and suppositories. A nebulized bronchodilator is an inhaled medication. A nicotine patch delivers the medication transdermally; that is, it is readily absorbed from the skin. A capsule is a form of oral medication.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, D, E
Feedback:
A 1-mL syringe with a 25- to 27-gauge needle that is 1/4 to 5/8 inches long is best suited for intradermal injections.
