The correct answer is: Yes, by any route as ordered by a prescriber

Pharmacists are trained healthcare professionals who are authorized to dispense medications as prescribed by a licensed healthcare provider. They are responsible for ensuring the safe and appropriate use of medications by patients. Option A and D are incorrect because pharmacists are not limited to only administering oral or injectable drugs. Option B is incorrect because pharmacists are allowed to administer drugs to patients under certain circumstances, with proper authorization from a healthcare provider. Therefore, option C is the correct answer because it accurately reflects the scope of a pharmacist's authority to administer drugs to patients.
