Answer to Question 1

T
This statement is correct. LPI infants may appear full term at birth; however, the
appearance of the infant is deceiving. LPI infants have a mortality risk three times that of
term infants for death from all causes.

B, D
Feedback
Correct For this subcutaneous injection, the nurse inserts the needle at a 45- to
90-degree angle and injects into the subcutaneous abdominal tissue.
Incorrect This technique is used for an intradermal injection. The upper back is used
for intradermal injections. The nurse should not massage the site after
administering heparin.
