Answer to Question 1

A

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

Answer to Question 2

A

Feedback
A Inflation pressure averages 40 mm Hg.
B Initial measurement is made around the largest part of the patient's thigh.
C A protective stockinette is placed over the patient's leg. Then the stocking is wrapped around the leg, starting at the ankle, with the opening over the patella.
D Stockings are not removed every hour. For optimal results, sequential compression or intermittent pneumatic compression devices are used as soon as possible and maintained until the patient becomes fully ambulatory. The stockings should be removed periodically to assess the condition of the patient's skin.
