Answer:

The correct answer is b) placing medication drops in nose, eyes, or ears.

Step-by-step explanation:

Instill refers to the action of pouring or introducing a liquid drop by drop on a mucosal surface or inside a canal or organic cavity, for therapeutic purposes. The most used instillations are: conjunctival, nasal, paranasal, atrial, laryngeal, tracheal, bronchial, bladder and urethral. The instillation can be carried out with the help of a simple common dropper or with an instrument called an instillator, which consists of a probe with a widened end and a syringe with a screw plunger; by activating the screw, the medicine is introduced drop by drop.
