ATI NUR 104 Final Assessment Fundamentals Questions
Extract:
A nurse is caring for a client who requires a medication that is packaged in a single dose glass ampule. Which of the following techniques should the nurse use when opening the glass ampule?
Question 1 of 5
Wear sterile gloves and break off the neck of the glass ampule with a single snap to the right side
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because tapping the top of the ampule helps dislodge any liquid that may be trapped inside, reducing the risk of spills. Placing a sterile gauze pad around the neck provides a barrier to prevent any glass shards from injuring the user. Breaking off the top by bending it toward the body allows for better control and minimizes the risk of glass splinters flying outwards. This technique ensures a safer and more controlled way to open the ampule.
Choice A is incorrect as breaking off the neck in a downward motion can lead to glass shards flying outwards and potentially causing injury.
Choice B is incorrect as tapping the bottom of the ampule and breaking off the bottom can result in spillage of the contents and increase the risk of injury.
Choices D, E, F, and G are irrelevant as they do not provide a safe and proper method for opening a glass ampule.
