What is the purpose of a transdermal patch in medication administration?

To thin mucus for easy removal
To decrease swelling and inflammation
To relieve pain
To deliver a specific dosage of a drug through the skin

The correct answer is: To deliver a specific dosage of a drug through the skin

Transdermal patches are specifically designed to deliver a specific dosage of medication through the skin. This allows for consistent and controlled release of the medication over a period of time. Options A, B, and C do not relate to the purpose of a transdermal patch and are incorrect. Thin mucus, decrease swelling, and relieve pain are not achieved through the use of a transdermal patch.
