Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The skin surface is cleansed prior to injection starting at the injection site and working outward in a circular motion toward the periphery.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, E
Allergy sensitivity testing requires the intradermal route. Before administering allergy testing, gathering of equipment and physician's orders are necessary. This route is injected into the dermal layer of skin, using a 15-degree angle. Connective tissue, having poor blood supply, is not appropriate for injection of medication. Previous injection sites would not factor into the decision about where to conduct allergy testing.
