Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the term 'parenteral': In medical terminology, 'parenteral' refers to routes of administration that bypass the digestive tract. This typically involves delivering substances directly into the body through injections.
Identify the options given: The problem provides four routes of administration: Oral, Intravenous, Rectal, and Sublingual.
Evaluate each option: Determine which of these routes bypasses the digestive tract. Oral and Rectal involve the digestive system, while Sublingual involves absorption through tissues under the tongue.
Focus on Intravenous: This route involves injecting directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system entirely, which fits the definition of parenteral.
Conclude: Based on the definition and evaluation, Intravenous is the route that is considered parenteral.
