Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who requires a medication that is packaged in a single dose glass ampule. Which of the following techniques should the nurse use when opening the glass ampule?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct technique for opening a glass ampule is to tap the top of the ampule, place a sterile gauze pad around the ampule neck, and break off the top by bending it toward the body. This method ensures that any glass fragments are directed away from the body, reducing the risk of injury. Breaking off the top also allows for easy access to the medication without the need to invert the ampule, minimizing the risk of spillage. Wearing sterile gloves maintains aseptic technique.


Choice A is incorrect as breaking off the neck with a single snap to the right side can lead to glass fragments flying in unpredictable directions.
Choice B is incorrect because breaking off the bottom with a forward motion can result in glass shards falling towards the body.
Choice D is incorrect as breaking off the neck in a downward motion can increase the risk of glass pieces falling into the medication.
