Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing an injection using a single dose glass ampule. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Using a filter needle prevents glass particles from being drawn into the syringe, unlike shaking the ampule, using sterile gloves unnecessarily, or snapping the top towards hands which risks injury.

Correct Answer: B

Question 4 of 5
During a clinical rotation on an orthopedic unit, a nursing student is caring for a 67-year-old patient who has undergone a knee replacement. The patient is complaining of pain at the IV site. The nursing student assesses the site and finds that the site is cool, blanched and slightly swollen. The student stops the IV and reports the situation to the nurse. What does the nursing student suspect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Cool, blanched, and swollen IV site indicates infiltration from fluid leakage, not inflammation, thrombophlebitis, or phlebitis which involve warmth and redness.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer heparin subcutaneously to an obese client who has a deep vein thrombosis. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
