Question 1 of 5
Why is the intravenous route potentially the most dangerous route of drug administration?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: rapid administration of a drug can lead to toxicity. When a drug is administered intravenously, it has 100% bioavailability, entering the bloodstream immediately and increasing the risk of toxicity if not carefully monitored. While IV infiltration (choice
A) can cause tissue damage, it is not typically life-threatening.
Choice B is incorrect as the speed of administration is not the primary reason for the danger; it is the immediate and full dose reaching the bloodstream.
Choice D is incorrect as the popularity of the route does not inherently make it more dangerous.
