Parenteral administration is any administration that is not via the GI system, meaning oral or rectal. Parenteral means "around the enteral system." Intravenous, subcutaneous, and intramuscular injections are all parenteral routes of administration. While inhalation would be considered parenteral in the strictest sense of the word, inhalation or aerosolization of medications are not usually considered parenteral, nor is topical administration.
Parenteral refers to any route of administration that bypasses the gastrointestinal tract. These routes can include Intravenous therapy (IV therapy), intramuscular/ subcutaneous/intradermal injection, buccal, sublingual, or rectal administration, or transvaginal administration (as with the vaginal contraceptive or hormone-therapy ring). Medication patches are also parenteral.
Parenteral administration is used when the patient is unable to take the drug orally, rapid action of medication is needed, and medication is ineffective in the gastrointestinal tract. Parenteral administration is also used to avoid the gastrointestinal tract and its first pass effect and to delivery medication to specific organs or tissues.
False -- Parenteral administration means taken into the body in a manner other than through the digestive tract.

A non-parenteral drug is one that is administered orally or by inhalation. Examples would be swallowing a pill or using an inhaler. Parenteral drugs are administered by injection or via transdermal patch (applied directly to the skin).

Because it's meant for dwelling within the abdomen cavity (aka peritoneal cavity), it doesn't enter the circulatory system. Parenteral solutions are for intravenous (into the vein) administration.
