Through which route is an oral supplement given?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Oral route
An oral supplement is taken through the mouth, usually as a drink, liquid, powder mixed with food, or tablet when appropriate, and then passes through the digestive tract. This is different from intravenous nutrition, which enters a vein, and nasogastric feeding, which uses a tube. The word “oral” itself indicates administration by mouth, so option A is correct.
