				"Administration is as follows:
(a) "enteral
				administration" means the agent is absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract
				or oral mucosa (oral, rectal, or sublingual);
(b) "parenteral administration" means the
				agent is absorbed intramuscularly, intravenously, intranasally, submucosally,
				subcutaneously, or intraosseously;
(c) "transdermal administration" means the
				agent is absorbed through a patch or by iontophoresis through the
				skin;
(d) "transmucosal
				administration" means the agent is absorbed across the mucosa (intranasal,
				rectal, or sublingual); and
(e)
				"inhalation administration" means a gaseous or volatile agent is introduced
				into the lungs and absorbed through the gas/blood interface. Because sedation
				and general anesthesia are a continuum, it is not always possible to predict
				how an individual patient will respond. Practitioners intending to produce a
				given level of sedation should be able to diagnose and manage the physiologic
				consequences (rescue) for patients whose level of sedation becomes deeper than
				initially intended.
