Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: Correction should always be done privately, and should include rationale for improvement. The UAP should never be corrected in front of the client, and the error is not serious enough to require a reprimand. However, it is important the UAP improve technique to benefit future clients.

Answer to Question 2

1,5
Rationale: Scalp vein needles are used for short term therapy, such as single dose therapy
