Answer to Question 1

C, E, F
Feedback:
Use the Z-track method only in the gluteal muscles. To administer a medication by Z-track, pull the skin of the injection site to one side. Insert the needle, aspirate, and inject the medication. Keep the skin taut and pulled to one side; wait a few seconds before withdrawing the needle. Allow the skin to return to its original position slowly, while removing the needle. As the tissues slide past each other, they close the needle track. Do not massage the injection site when using the Z-track administration method.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The nurse should avoid applying suction when inserting the catheter; doing so may damage mucosa in the trachea and promote hypoxia. The nurse should place the unconscious client on his or her side, facing the nurse, not in a semi- or high Fowler's position, to prevent airway obstruction. The catheter should be inserted 4 to 5 inches into the trachea, not only about an inch, for proper positioning. Suctioning should not continue for longer than 10-second intervals in order to prevent the development of hypoxia.
