Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The most common site for an intradermal injection is the inner aspect of the forearm. Intradermal injections are commonly used for diagnostic purposes. Examples include tuberculin tests and allergy testing. Small volumes, usually 0.01 to 0.05 ml, are injected because of the small tissue space. Other areas that may be used are the back and the upper chest, not the stomach.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Before preparing the solution, the nurse should inspect the container and determine that the solution is clear and transparent, the expiration date has not elapsed, no leaks are apparent, and a separate label is attached. The primary tubing should be 110 in. (2.8 m) long and the secondary tubing should be about 37 in. (94 cm) long. It is unnecessary to withdraw samples from the bag of solution.
