Note
In most of its uses this present-tense form takes a direct object: an agency administers grants, a nurse administers a drug, an official administers an oath or settles an estate. One construction works differently. Administers to, meaning 'ministers to,' takes no direct object: she administers to the sick. Use to only for that caring sense. A dose, a program or an oath takes a plain object.
She administers to the sick and the dying in the parish.
The chaplain administers to anyone who asks for comfort.
