Bolus
A concentrated mass given rapidly intravenously. For example, when used with pain management, bolus is an extra dose of medication that is given only if needed to con-trol pain. For enteral therapy, it is a method of administration in which oral syringes are used to administer the solution at prescribed intervals. This is an alternative to continuous pump or gravity feeding.
