Answer to Question 1

A
The angle of injection for an intradermal injection is 5 to 15 degrees.
30 degrees is not the correct angle of injection.
Subcutaneous injections may be administered at a 45-degree angle.
Subcutaneous or intramuscular injections may be administered at a 90-degree angle.

Answer to Question 2

B

Feedback
A No stage of anxiety is found in Kbler-Ross's five stages of dying.
B According to Kbler-Ross, the patient is in the denial stage of dying. The patient may act as though nothing has happened, may refuse to believe or understand that a loss has occurred, and may seem stunned, as though it is unreal or difficult to believe.
C No stage of confrontation is found in Kbler-Ross's five stages of dying.
D During depression, the individual may feel overwhelmingly lonely and withdraw from interpersonal interaction. Depression is one of Kbler-Ross's five stages of dying but is not represented by this example.
