Answer to Question 1

D, A, B, C

Always verify the medication order. Perform hand hygiene. Check for blood return, although some small-gauge needles will not return blood. Ensure no inflammation occurs. Pinching or occluding the tubing ensures medication will be delivered.

Answer to Question 2

B
Never cut a patient's hair without permission. Moistening the hair with water or an alcohol-free detangle product makes the hair easier to comb.
