Question 1 of 5
Which medication route provides the most rapid onset of a medication but also poses the greatest risk of adverse effect if administered incorrectly?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Intravenous (IV). IV route provides the most rapid onset as it bypasses first-pass metabolism and directly enters the bloodstream. However, it poses the greatest risk of adverse effects if administered incorrectly due to rapid systemic distribution. Subcutaneous (
A), intradermal (
B), and intramuscular (
C) routes have slower onset compared to IV and are less risky in terms of adverse effects as they have a more localized impact before entering the bloodstream. IV administration requires precise dosing and careful monitoring to prevent adverse reactions.
