Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
For medications that are irritating or may stain the skin (e.g., iron), the Z-track technique of IM injection is employed. The Z-track uses the skin itself as a door to seal in the drug and prevent it from leaking back out from muscle tissue.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Insulin should be drawn up in a special insulin syringe that is marked or calibrated in units. Accuracy is very important when calculating insulin dosages because a small error makes a big change. Use the correct syringe, the correct insulin, and the correct dose.
