Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

A syringe requiring the needle to be twisted onto the hub is called a Luer-Lok syringe. A smooth graduated tip, called a non-Luer-Lok syringe, allows the needle to be slid over the tip but does not lock in place. An irrigation syringe is generally a 50 mL or larger syringe used for irrigating. A safety needle syringe is a syringe and needle set that reduces the risk of injury to the nurse.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1

The proper location for injecting into the abdominal site is at least 2 inches away from the umbilicus and above the level of the ileac crests. The other actions are correct.
