Question 1 of 5
A nurse is observing a newly licensed nurse prepare a medication from an ampule for a client's injection. For which of the following actions by the newly licensed nurse should the nurse intervene?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
Correct Answer: A - Withdraws the medication from the ampule using a subcutaneous needle.
Rationale: Using a subcutaneous needle to withdraw medication from an ampule is incorrect because subcutaneous needles are not suitable for withdrawing medication from ampules due to the risk of glass particles being drawn into the syringe. It is essential to use a filter needle or a larger gauge needle to withdraw medication from an ampule to prevent contamination.
Therefore, the nurse should intervene to correct this improper technique.
Summary of other choices:
B: Breaking the top of the ampule using an antiseptic wipe is a standard and appropriate procedure to ensure the ampule's sterility.
C: Performing 3 checks of the medication before administration is a crucial safety measure to verify the right medication, dose, and client.
D: Disposing of the ampule by placing it in a sharps container is the correct method for safe disposal of sharp objects like ampules.
