Question 1 of 5
Which nursing action is appropriate when pulling the plunger of the syringe back prior to administering medication and blood is aspirated in the syringe?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because aspirating blood indicates the needle is in a blood vessel, increasing the risk of injecting medication into the bloodstream. Removing the syringe, discarding the medication, and starting over ensures safe administration.
Choice B is incorrect as it can lead to medication entering the bloodstream.
Choice C is unnecessary and may introduce infection risk.
Choice D is unsafe as omitting the dose neglects the patient's prescribed treatment.
