Your response:
creams and suppositories
Correct response:
creams and suppositories
Rationale: Medications are administered vaginally to provide direct vaginal absorption of the

Buccal (between the cheek and gums; dental anesthetic) and sublingual (under the tongue;
nitroglycerin pill) medications are placed in the mouth for fast absorption.
