Question 1 of 5

The client is to receive a Mantoux (PPD) test intradermally for tuberculosis. Which angle should the nurse use for this type of injection?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct angle for a Mantoux (PP
D) test injection is 5-15 degrees. This shallow angle allows for accurate intradermal placement of the solution without penetrating too deeply. Inserting the needle at a low angle ensures that the solution is injected just below the skin's surface to produce an accurate reading of the skin reaction to the test antigen. Using a steeper angle (30-45 degrees, 15-30 degrees, or 45-90 degrees) would risk injecting the solution too deep, affecting the test results.
Therefore, a 5-15 degree angle is the most appropriate for an intradermal injection like the Mantoux test.
