Feedback
A Administration of a medication by the buccal route involves placing the solid medication in the mouth and against the mucous membranes of the cheek until the medication dissolves.
B Crushing the medication is not necessary, as it is designed to dissolve in the patient's cheek.
C Patients are not to take any liquids with medications given by buccal administration or immediately thereafter.
D The mouth is not sterile. Sterile technique is not necessary for buccal administration.
