Which injection is given to a patient receiving a tuberculin screening test?
1) Intrathecal
2) Intradermal
3) Intravenous
4) Subcutaneous - 2) Intradermal
Tuberculin may be potent, and a patient may have a severe anaphylactic reaction when
tuberculin enters the circulation too rapidly. Therefore tuberculin is administered through the
intradermal route. An intrathecal injection is given to the spinal canal and is very painful. An
intravenous injection may cause the patient to experience anaphylactic reactions. A subcutaneous
injection may lead to unwanted reactions.
Which statement is correct regarding insulin needles?
1) They should be used at a 90-degree angle.
2) Insulin needles that are 8 mm cause less pain.
3) Insulin needles are inserted in an intramuscular site.
4) Insulin needles that are 4 to 5 mm can cause more pain - 1) They should be used at a 90-
degree angle.
Insulin needles are administered at a 90-degree angle. Insulin needles that are 8 mm often enter
the muscle resulting in discomfort. Insulin needles are never inserted in an intramuscular site.
Insulin needles that are 4 to 5 mm are associated with less pain.
Which type of syringe is used to administer a small and precise amount of medication
subcutaneously in infants and newborns?
1)5-mL syringe
2)3-mL syringe
, 3)Insulin syringe
4)Tuberculin syringe - 4)Tuberculin syringe
A tuberculin syringe is a small-diameter syringe that is useful for preparing small, precise doses
of medication for subcutaneous injection in infants and newborns. An insulin syringe is used
only for injecting a very small dose of insulin. Both 5-mL and 3-mL syringes are used for large
volumes of parenteral medication administration.
Which statement is true regarding the advantage of parenteral medication administration?
1)The parenteral route is easy to administer."
2)"The parenteral route rarely causes anxiety in patients."
3)"The parenteral route provides rapid relief for local respiratory problems."
4)"The parenteral route provides medication to patients with poor peripheral perfusion." - 4)"The
parenteral route provides medication to patients with poor peripheral perfusion."
The parenteral route of administration aids patients who have poor peripheral perfusion.
Parenteral administration may not be easy to administer; it requires a trained or skilled health
care practitioner. Parenteral administration may cause anxiety in patients. The inhalational route
of medication administration may provide rapid relief for local respiratory problems.
Which site is frequently recommended for administering heparin injections?
1)Thigh
2)Abdomen
3)Upper arm
4)Dorsal gluteal area - 2)Abdomen
Heparin is administered subcutaneously at the abdominal site. This site has the best absorption.
The thigh, upper arm, and dorsal gluteal areas are other sites for subcutaneous injection that are
not widely recommended for administration of heparin.
