Aseptic technique is used when administering parenteral drugs because these drugs require which type of procedure?
A) Invasive
B) Infective
C) Isotonic
D) Iodized
A) Invasive
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."
