Which practice applies to IV medications according to the protocol?

• A. Oral medications.
• B. Individual IV medication doses.
• C. Bolus doses.
• D. Continuous infusion doses.

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is that IV medications should be prepared and administered as separate, individual doses. This practice ensures accuracy, safety, and traceability: each medication is prepared with its specific concentration and amount, labeled clearly, and given exactly as ordered. It reduces the risk of mixing drugs, dose miscalculations, and compatibility issues with IV fluids, and it makes it easier to verify the right drug for the right patient at the right time. While oral medications, bolus, and continuous infusion are all related to IV therapy in different ways, the protocol emphasizes keeping each IV medication as its own distinct dose to maintain control, safety, and clear documentation throughout the infusion process.
