A few nights before July 4, three 12-year old government/military brats (Danny, Adam, and Jason) are gathered in a Key West bedroom reading their favorite comic book Sgt. Slammer.
bolus [bÅâ²lÅ­s] Type:Term. Definitions 1. A single, relatively large quantity of a substance, usually one intended for therapeutic use, such as a bolus dose of a drug injected intravenously. 2. A masticated morsel of food or another substance ready to be swallowed, such as a bolus of barium for radiographic studies. 3.
If you accept the definition of bolus as requiring pill or IV (IntraVenous) administration, then SL (Sub Lingual) administation would not be a bolus. Regardless of whether it is NTG (NiTroGlycerin or GTN â GlycerylTriNitrate in Commonwealth countries). I do not like that definition. I prefer to view a bolus in a more practical way, by the effect on the patient.
