Test on Parenteral Administration and Injection Techniques

Question 1: Aspiration is required before administering low-molecular-weight heparin.

A. Ano

B. Ne

Explanation: The study materials state for low-molecular-weight heparin, 'Aspiration : yes or not', indicating that it is not strictly required or could be omitted, making 'required' an incorrect statement.

Question 2: Which of the following actions are essential steps for a nurse to perform during preparation for injection administration, according to the study materials?

A. Expelling the air bubble from a prefilled syringe of low-molecular-weight heparin before administration.

B. Reviewing information related to the medication, including its action, purpose, and side effects.

C. Checking the medication administration record for accuracy of the patient's name, medication name, and dosage.

D. Assessing the patient's age, body build, muscle size, and weight.

Explanation: The study materials explicitly state that a nurse must 'Review information related to medication at each injection: action, purpose, dose and route, side effects, time of onset and peak action', 'Check accuracy and completeness of each medication administration record (MAR) with physician’s medication order. Check : patient’s name , medication name, dosage, date of expiration', and 'Assess the patient’s age (adult, child, newborn) body build, muscle size and weight (an obese, thin patient)'. However, the materials specifically instruct 'Do not expel bubble from prefilled syringe before administration of LMW heparins!', making the first option incorrect.

Question 3: It is important to remember the patient's position when administering an intramuscular injection into the gluteus maximus.

A. Ano

B. Ne

Explanation: The study materials for Intramuscular injection (I.M.) Dorsogluteal site location (m. gluteus maximus) instruct to 'Remember : ➢ Position of the patient'.

Question 4: According to the study materials, which muscle is used for the ventrogluteal intramuscular injection site?

A. m. gluteus medius

B. m. gluteus maximus

C. Vastus lateralis

D. Deltoid

Explanation: The study materials explicitly state that the Ventrogluteal site location for intramuscular injection is the m. gluteus medius.

Question 5: The study materials discuss suitable peripheral IV injection sites for infants.

A. Ano

B. Ne

Explanation: The study materials explicitly list 'Suitable peripheral IV injection sites for adults and for infants' as a topic to be studied.
