Answer to Question 1

cuticle
The nail is surrounded by a cuticle, which slowly grows over the nail and must be regularly pushed back with a soft nail brush. Take care to avoid breaking the skin around the nail. Breaks in the skin allow the entry of bacteria .

Answer to Question 2

C
The angle of insertion for an intradermal injection is 5 to 15 degrees. If possible, the site should be 3 to 4 finger widths below the antecubital space and one hand width above the wrist. To administer an injection intradermally, use a tuberculin or small syringe with a short (3/8 to 5/8 inch), fine-gauge (25 to 27) needle. Inject only small amounts of medication (0.01 to 0.1 mL) intradermally. If a bleb does not appear, or if the site bleeds after needle withdrawal, the medication may have entered subcutaneous tissue. In this situation, skin test results will not be valid.
