Parenteral medication administration refers to methods of medication administration that do not involve the gastrointestinal tract. This includes intravenous infusion (B) and intramuscular injection (C), among other methods. Oral, vaginal, and sublingual routes involve the medication being absorbed through the mucous membranes or the gastrointestinal tract and are not considered parenteral.
