Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The nurse should always repeat the order to the physician. The nurse should write slowly to avoid making a mistake. It is not necessary to have another nurse listen to the verbal order. The nurse should not sign the physician's name to the order.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The subcutaneous technique changes when injecting a thin patient. The selection of needles is the same (-inch needle of 27 or 28 G), the site selection is the same, but the technique changes to pinch up the skin and inject at a 90-degree angle.
