Question: 1 / 400

Large amounts of injectable medication at least 2 mL or more are given

Subcutaneously

Intravenously

Orally

Intramuscularly

When large amounts of medication need to be administered, it is best to inject the medication intramuscularly. Subcutaneously and orally would require multiple injections to achieve the required amount, leading to discomfort for the patient. Intravenously would be difficult to achieve for patients with small, fragile veins, and could also lead to complications if the medication is not meant to be directly delivered into the bloodstream. Intramuscularly is the most efficient and safe method for administering large amounts of medication.
