What is the IV:PO ratio for Furosemide?

  1. 1:1

  2. 1:2

  3. 2:1

  4. 2:3

The correct answer is: 1:2

The correct answer is B, 1:2. The IV:PO ratio for Furosemide is 1:2. This means that the dose of Furosemide administered intravenously is typically half the dose of the oral Furosemide due to differences in bioavailability and onset of action between the two routes of administration. This ratio is important to understand in order to properly convert doses between intravenous and oral formulations of Furosemide for optimal patient care.
