Ans: D
Feedback: Immunoglobulin can be administered through a peripheral line. It should be administered no faster than 3 mL/min. Furosemide can be administered prior to the immunoglobulin to decrease edema, but should not be administered during the administration of the immunoglobulin. The patient should be weighed prior to administration to determine if weight increases with administration, which may be indicative of the onset of anaphylaxis.
