Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Filtered needles are used to withdraw the medication and then changed before administration of the injection. The rim of the ampule is considered to be contaminated because of the possible presence of broken glass. Paper towels do not protect the nurse from broken glass. The ampule is not airtight, so no air needs to be injected into it before removing the medication.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D, E
Date, time, drug name, dosage, and route of administration are included in the seven rights of medication administration. The patient should be educated about the drug being administered. The nurse should observe for adverse drug effects. Evaluating the drug's therapeutic effectiveness is important. Unless the receptacle used is unusual, it does not need to be noted.
