Pharmacy Technician Certification Board Practice Exam Practice Question

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Buccal tablets are designed to be placed between the cheek and gum (Option C), allowing for absorption through the oral mucosa, which provides a rapid onset of action.

Option A is incorrect as chewing would destroy the tablet's structure, hindering its intended absorption method. Option B describes sublingual tablets, which dissolve under the tongue for direct absorption into the bloodstream, differing from buccal administration. Option D is also wrong; swallowing buccal tablets whole would prevent their effective absorption, as they are meant to dissolve slowly in the buccal cavity.
