Question

question 1
which of the following terms describes injectable medications?
enteral
buccal
parenteral
oral

Explanation:

Define the routes of administration

  • Enteral: Refers to administration involving the gastrointestinal tract (e.g., oral, sublingual, rectal).
  • Buccal: Administration by placing the medication between the cheek and the gum (a subtype of enteral/mucosal).
  • Parenteral: Refers to administration by injection or infusion, bypassing the gastrointestinal tract (e.g., intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous).
  • Oral: Administration by mouth into the gastrointestinal tract.

Identify the term for injectable medications

  • Injectable medications bypass the digestive tract and are administered directly into the body tissues or systemic circulation.
  • Therefore, the term that describes injectable medications is parenteral.

Answer:

  • (A) Enteral
  • (B) Buccal
  • (C) Parenteral (Correct answer)
  • (D) Oral
