Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Any area without hair may be used. Most people prefer the chest, flank, or upper arm areas. Sites should be rotated. The back of the knee is not suitable for applying medication because of the joint motion and difficulty of keeping a dressing in place.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Sublingual medications are rapidly absorbed into systemic circulation because of the increased blood flow to these areas and avoid the first pass effect of the liver where extensive metabolism usually takes place. These routes do not contain drug effects to the oral area and they bypass the liver. These sites are highly vascular.
