The inhalation route means the drug is:

• B. Delivered in spray
• C. Administered in the eye
• D. Inserted into the vagina

Answer: (A)

Inhalation means the medication is breathed into the lungs, so it is delivered through the nose or mouth and travels down the airways to the respiratory tract. This route is used when the goal is to act on the lungs or airways quickly, such as with inhalers or nebulizers. It’s not about applying medication to the eye or inserting something into the vagina, which are separate routes. A spray can describe many forms, but inhalation specifically involves breathing the drug in through the nose or mouth to reach the lungs.
