ANS: C
Intravenous administration of furosemide should be done slowly over 1 to 2 minutes.
Administration of furosemide over 10 minutes is not indicated, because the time frame is too long.
Diluting the dose of furosemide is not typically indicated.
Administering the furosemide over 2 hours as an infusion is not typically indicated.
