A. Invasive
B. Infective
C. Isotonic
D. Iodized
a
Rationale: The aseptic technique is used for parenteral administration because it is an invasive procedure. The body is "invaded" when the needle punctures through the skin, and the wound becomes a pathway for infection. The other choices are incorrect because infective means "causing infection," isotonic means "purified for use with the body or its openings," and iodized means "treated with iodine."
