Transcript text: The route of medication administration crosses the skin barrier and comes in the form of a patch.
Solution
The answer is the first one: transdermal.
Explanation for each option:
Transdermal: This is the correct answer. Transdermal administration involves delivering medication through the skin using a patch. The medication is absorbed through the skin barrier into the bloodstream.
Ophthalmic: This refers to medications administered to the eyes, such as eye drops or ointments. It does not involve crossing the skin barrier with a patch.
Topical: This involves applying medication directly to the skin, such as creams or ointments, but it is not typically in the form of a patch that crosses the skin barrier into the bloodstream.
Buccal: This refers to medication administered in the mouth, specifically between the gums and the inner lining of the cheek. It does not involve crossing the skin barrier.
In summary, the transdermal route of medication administration involves crossing the skin barrier using a patch.
