Washington Multistate Pharmacy Jurisprudence MPJE Practice Exam

Administering a drug involves the direct application of a drug to the body of a patient or subject through various methods, such as oral ingestion, injection, or topical application. Option A is incorrect because it refers to the preparation of a prescription, which is a different step in the process of administering a drug. Option B is incorrect because affixing a label to a drug container is a necessary, but not the main aspect, of administering a drug. Option D is incorrect because it refers to the delivery or transfer of a drug, rather than the actual act of administering it. Therefore, the correct answer is C - the direct application of a drug to the body.
