Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Removing the needle at the same angle at which it was inserted to administer medication minimizes tissue trauma and discomfort to the client. To verify correct injection of the drug, the nurse pushes the plunger and watches for a small wheal. To prevent needle-stick injuries, the nurse covers the needle with a protective cap. Holding the client's arm and stretching the skin taut helps to control placement of the needle.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
When there is phlebitis, the nurse should discontinue the IV promptly and apply warm compresses to the affected site to provide immediate relief to the client. The nurse elevates the client's affected arm when there is infiltration. When there is pulmonary embolus, the nurse should call for help and administer oxygen.
