Because once its given directly in the blood stream, there is nothing you can do. You can't "take it back". Some medications, if given IV, can be lethal. That's why the five rights of medication administration are used: right Drug, right Time, right Dose, right Route and right Person. And always have someone else double check if you have to calculate a dosage.
