Question 1 of 5
What is the threshold of dextrose concentrations that can safely be administered through a peripheral IV?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Dextrose concentrations below 10% are considered safe for administration through a peripheral IV, as concentrations above this threshold can lead to phlebitis, causing inflammation of the vein. Concentrations above 10% should not be administered through a peripheral IV to prevent vein irritation.
Choice A is incorrect because concentrations above 20% are too high for a peripheral IV.
Choice B is incorrect as dextrose concentrations below 5% are too low to be effective.
Choice D is incorrect because the statement is reversed, suggesting that concentrations above 5% are safe, which is not true.
