Question: 1 / 400

Which of the following is NOT a route for administering medications?

Inhalation

Application

The correct answer identifies "Application" as not being a recognized route for administering medications, while the other options do represent valid routes.

Inhalation refers to taking medications directly into the lungs through the mouth or nose, commonly used for respiratory treatments. Subcutaneous administration involves injecting medication into the tissue layer between the skin and the muscle, which is often used for vaccines and certain types of hormones. Ingestion is the act of swallowing medication, typically in the form of pills or liquids, allowing the medication to be absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract.

Application, while it can imply methods like dermal administration, does not specify a standard route for medication as clearly as the others. This lack of specificity makes it less applicable as a direct method of medication administration.
