Question 1 of 5
A community health nurse is visiting an older adult client who recently moved into an assisted living apartment. Which of the following client statements indicates difficulty accepting their transition?

Question 4 of 5

Rationale: Injecting 2 inches from the umbilicus avoids vascular areas, reducing bleeding risk. An 18-gauge needle is too large (25-27 gauge is standard), air bubbles in prefilled syringes ensure full dosing, and massaging increases bruising risk due to heparin’s anticoagulant effect.
