Answer to Question 1
D
An IV bolus usually requires small volumes of fluid, which is an advantage for patients who are at risk for fluid overload. With IV bolus medications, rapid onset of medication effects occurs, which is useful for patients who are experiencing critical or emergent health problems. Medications can be prepared quickly and given over a shorter time frame rather than by IV piggyback. Medications given by IV bolus may cause direct irritation to the lining of the blood vessel.
