Question 1 of 5
After administering an intradermal (ID) injection for a skin test, the nurse notices a small bleb at the injection site. Which of these is the best action for the nurse to take at this time?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Do nothing. When administering an ID injection for a skin test, a small bleb at the injection site is a normal expected response. The nurse should not intervene as the bleb will resolve on its own. Reporting to the physician (
B) is unnecessary as it is a common occurrence. Massaging the area (
C) can cause irritation and spread the medication. Applying heat (
