You want to give Demerol over about two minutes because it can cause a burning sensation if pushed too fast. Sometimes, if the NS is running at a slow enough rate, you can push the Demerol into a port further away from the patient, allowing the IV fluids to slowly carry the Demerol into your patient.

What is the difference between an injection that is given IM OR IV?
IM means Intramuscular route of drug administration, while IV means Intraveinal route of drug administration. IV route, takes the drug directly into the bloodstream resulting in 100% bioavailability instantly. Where as in IM route, drug is injected into muscle tissues, which holds the drug for a while and gradually releases into the bloodstream through the network bed of capillaries running across or surrounding the muscle tissue. In IM, the bioavailability may be slightly less than 100% of drug due to diffusion from muscle through tissue fluid and into the blood.
