The answer is the second one (IM): Intramuscular.

Explanation for each option:

  1. IV (Intravenous): This route involves administering medication directly into a vein. Epinephrine auto-injectors are not designed for intravenous use.

  2. IM (Intramuscular): This is the correct route of administration for an Epinephrine auto-injector. These devices are specifically designed to deliver epinephrine into the muscle, typically the thigh, for rapid absorption in cases of severe allergic reactions or anaphylaxis.

  3. SL (Sublingual): This route involves placing medication under the tongue for absorption. Epinephrine auto-injectors are not used sublingually.

  4. PO (Oral): This route involves taking medication by mouth. Epinephrine is not administered orally in emergency situations because it needs to act quickly, which is achieved through intramuscular injection.

In summary, the Epinephrine auto-injector is administered intramuscularly (IM).
