Correct Answer: A


Rationale: The nurse should tap the top of the ampule to dislodge any medication residue. Placing a sterile gauze pad around the neck helps prevent injury. Breaking off the top by bending it toward the body minimizes the risk of glass shards flying outwards. This technique ensures safe and clean access to the medication without risking contamination or injury.
