Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Parenteral administration involves injecting the drug directly into the body, bypassing the gastrointestinal tract. Intramuscular injection is an example of a parenteral route of drug administration, while options A (gastric tube) and B (oral) involve drugs passing through the gastrointestinal tract before being absorbed. Option D (rectal) is a partially parenteral route, as some drugs may be absorbed directly into the bloodstream via the rectum without passing through the gastrointestinal tract, but it is not a fully parenteral route.
