I am not going to answer this question for you but will try to help you find the answer your self. 1) Figure out what intra-osseous means 2) what is usually administered intra-osseously? 3) Why would you administer fluids or medication intra-osseously? 4) What does contraindicated mean? 5) Look at the diseases in the question. The administration can only be successful in functional tissue/ bone. Answering these five questions will make it easy for you to find the solution.
