Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In severe cases of anaphylactic shock that are refractory to initial interventions, intravenous (IV) administration of epinephrine is the best route. It rapidly delivers the medication directly to the bloodstream and has a faster onset of action compared to other routes such as subcutaneous (SC), intramuscular (IM), or endotracheal (ET) administration. SC and IM routes have slower onset of action and are less effective in severe cases. ET route may also be less effective and has potential complications such as pulmonary edema.
