Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
A plastic, disposable syringe is the most accurate device for preparing liquid doses, especially those less than 10 mL. A cup can be hard to gauge liquids unless placed on a flat surface to read. Teaspoons can vary in the amount of volume they hold. Droppers are less accurate than plastic disposable syringes for preparing liquid medications.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
It is the right of the client to receive medications safely without discomfort in accordance with the six rights of medication administration.
