Nitrous/Oxygen and inhaler for asthma are examples of which administration method?

Nitrous oxide with oxygen and asthma inhalers are both delivered by inhalation. Inhalation means the medication is breathed in through the mouth or nose and absorbed in the lungs, giving rapid local or systemic effects. Nitrous/oxygen is a gas mixture the patient inhales, while an inhaler releases a mist or aerosol that the patient inhales into the lungs. Other options describe drugs and routes not primarily delivered by inhalation (often injected or taken orally, or used in other forms), so inhalation best fits both examples.
