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. When blood is aspirated in the syringe, it indicates that the needle is in a blood vessel. The correct action is to remove the syringe, discard the medication, and start over to prevent injecting the medication into the bloodstream, which could lead to adverse effects.
Choice B is incorrect because administering the medication can cause harm.
Choice C is incorrect because changing the needle does not address the issue of the needle being in a blood vessel.
Choice D is incorrect as omitting the dose does not resolve the problem of blood aspiration.
