he preferred route of administration of medication in the most acute care situations is which of the following routes?
a) Intravenous
The IV route is the preferred parenteral route in most acute care situations because it is much more comfortable for the patient, and peak serum levels and pain relief occur more rapidly and reliably.
b) Epidural
Epidural administration is used to control postoperative and chronic pain.
c) Subcutaneous
Subcutaneous administration results in slow absorption of medication.
d) Intramuscular
Intramuscular administration of medication is absorbed more slowly than intravenously administered medication.
