Answer to Question 1

A filter needle is used to withdraw medications from glass ampules to filter out small glass parti-cles that may have fallen in the ampule when the top was broken off. The filter needle must be exchanged for a sterile regular needle before administration of the medication.

Answer to Question 2

The most appropriate available equipment and its characteristics (for injections, syringe size, and calibration) determines the nearest measurable dose that can be administered.
