The correct statement indicating an appropriate understanding of the rate of absorption for an intravenous pain medication is "Since the medication is going to be given IV, it will take effect rapidly." This statement shows that the client understands that the medication will be absorbed quickly and will take effect in a short amount of time. The other statements do not address the rate of absorption or are unrelated to the medication's effects.
