Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, E
Oral administration is the most economical, convenient, and readily available. Absorption from oral medications can vary depending on many factors. Insulin cannot be administered via the oral route. In oral drug administration, drugs are only delivered via the oral route.

Gastric fluid appears green with sediment or off white. Pleural fluid appears clear to straw colored. Intestinal fluid appears yellow (bile colored). Tracheobronchial fluid appears off white or tan.
