Answer to Question 1

B
For an intramuscular injection, the needle is inserted perpendicular to the patient's body as close to 90 degrees as possible. In using the Z-track method, the overlying skin and subcutaneous tissues are pulled approximately 2.5 to 3.5 cm (1 to inches) laterally to the side with the ulnar side of the nondominant hand. Keep the needle inserted for 10 seconds after injection to allow the medication to disperse evenly. Release the skin after withdrawing the needle.

Answer to Question 2

A
A, B, C, and D. Auscultation of lung sounds verifies placement of an artificial airway.

Did you know?

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).

Most fungi that pathogenically affect humans live in soil. If a person is not healthy, has an open wound, or is immunocompromised, a fungal infection can be very aggressive.

Before a vaccine is licensed in the USA, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reviews it for safety and effectiveness. The CDC then reviews all studies again, as well as the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Physicians. Every lot of vaccine is tested before administration to the public, and the FDA regularly inspects vaccine manufacturers' facilities.

When intravenous medications are involved in adverse drug events, their harmful effects may occur more rapidly, and be more severe than errors with oral medications. This is due to the direct administration into the bloodstream.
