Question 1

The answer is the second one: Vaginal.

Explanation:

  • Oral: Incorrect. Estrace (Estradiol) vaginal cream is not administered orally.
  • Vaginal: Correct. The medication is specifically formulated for vaginal administration.
  • Rectal: Incorrect. This medication is not intended for rectal use.
  • Topical: Incorrect. While the cream is applied topically, the specific route is vaginal, not general topical application.

Question 2

The correct answers are: Invasive method and Requires precise dosage.

Explanation:

  • Quick absorption: Incorrect. While quick absorption can be a characteristic of parenteral administration, it is generally considered an advantage rather than a disadvantage.
  • Invasive method: Correct. Parenteral administration involves injections, which are invasive and can cause discomfort or complications.
  • Suitable for those who can't take oral medications: Incorrect. This is an advantage of parenteral administration, as it provides an alternative for patients who cannot take medications orally.
  • Requires precise dosage: Correct. Parenteral administration requires precise dosing and technique, which can be a disadvantage due to the potential for errors.

In summary, the common route of administration for Estrace vaginal cream is vaginal, and the disadvantages of the parenteral route include being invasive and requiring precise dosage.
