1. Drug form acceptable to be given po is the elixir. A drug ordered to be given po should be given by mouth or orally and an elixir is a sweet liquid medicine to be taken orally. All other given drug forms given here are not administered orally.

Intravenous (IV) is not the answer as IV drugs are administered into the veins and should not be given orally.

Intramuscular (IM) is not the answer as IM drugs are administered into the muscles and should not be given orally.

Suppository is not the answer as this drug form is administered rectally and should not be given orally.
