Rationale: The appendix is located in the right lower quadrant (RLQ) of the abdomen making RLQ the correct abbreviation. The right upper quadrant (RUQ) contains the liver and gallbladder the left upper quadrant (LUQ) includes the stomach and spleen and the left lower quadrant (LLQ) houses parts of the colon none of which are the appendix’s location.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse must give a client an intramuscular injection of a medication which is very irritating to the subcutaneous tissues. To attempt to reduce irritation of the tissues which action should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The Z-track method prevents leakage of irritating medications into subcutaneous tissues by sealing the needle track reducing irritation and discomfort. Small gauge needles reduce pain not leakage 45-degree angles are for subcutaneous injections and ice does not prevent tissue irritation.
Question 4 of 5
A client must receive eyedrops bilaterally four times a day. The medication should be dropped onto which of the following areas?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The lower conjunctival sac is the appropriate site for eyedrops as it allows the medication to pool and be absorbed effectively while minimizing corneal irritation or systemic absorption. Dropping onto the sclera (outer or inner canthus) is less effective and may cause discomfort and the cornea is sensitive and prone to injury if directly targeted.
