Feedback:
The nurse should ask the client not to chew the nicotine buccal medication, because chewing or swallowing speeds up the rate of absorption. Buccal administration involves placing the medication between the client's cheek and gum until it dissolves. Buccal medications are designed to be absorbed via the mucous membrane of the cheeknot when swallowed with saliva. Buccal medications are usually available in the form of either gel or substances such as gum.
