Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Ampules are glass containers that need to be broken open before withdrawing medication. Carpujects are prefilled syringes. Mix-O-Vial containers have two compartments for mixing medications and are not scored. Vials are glass or plastic containers that are not broken open.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
It is best to read the label aloud to ensure that both individuals are verifying the contents against the verbal order from the surgeon. Unused portions of medication should not be saved for use in another procedure. All medication during an operative procedure must remain sterile. The circulating (nonsterile) nurse retrieves the medication from storage.
