Explanation:

1. A drug is contraindicated when it may cause harm or have no positive effect. This is the definition of a contraindication. Treating multiple or specific conditions is not related to contraindication, and having actions other than desired is more about side - effects rather than the core concept of contraindication.
2. Parenteral medications are administered outside the digestive tract (e.g., injection) and are absorbed more quickly than enteral medications (which are absorbed through the digestive system like oral medications). Tylenol is oral (enteral), not parenteral. Parenteral medications do not necessarily have fewer side - effects, and they are not absorbed through the digestive system.

Answer:

1. may cause harm or have no positive effect.
2. Parenteral medications are absorbed more quickly than enteral medications.
