A metered-dose inhaler is a(n):
It is important for the patient to exhale completely before inhaling the
medication.
Intramuscular injection sites include which of the following muscles?
stretch the skin taut over the injection site.
When administering an intramuscular injection, you should:
When establishing a peripheral IV, start at the distal end of an extremity.
Which of the following is TRUE regarding intravenous access?
Subclavian
Which of the following IV sites is NOT considered a peripheral site?
albumin.
Which of the following is TRUE regarding drug administration via a small-volume
nebulizer?
Dilute the medication in normal saline to create 10 mL of solution.
If you have not established an IV line, some medications can be given through an
endotracheal tube. Which of the following is CORRECT regarding drug
administration though an ET tube?
rectal.
, 2
An example of an enteral route of drug administration is:
Never use household teaspoons to measure medications.
Guidelines for oral administration of a medication include which of the following?
results in rapid drug absorption.
Rectal administration of medication:
glass ampule.
The least expensive form of single-dose packaging of drugs for injection is the:
the medication is in powder form and placed in a nebulizer with normal saline.
Some medications are packaged in a nonconstituted vial. This means that:
delivery of local anesthetics
Intradermal injection is particularly useful for:
using a 24- to 26-gauge needle, 1 to 11⁄2 inches long
Steps in administering medication by subcutaneous injection include:
you may use an air plug in the syringe, which pushes the medication farther into
the subcutaneous tissue.
When administering medication by the subcutaneous injection route:
90-degree angle.
When administering medication by the intramuscular route, insert the needle at a
Vastus lateralis
Examples of colloid IV solutions include:
lactated Ringer's solution.
One of the most common IV solutions used in the prehospital setting for fluid
replacement is:
60 drops
, 3
In standard microdrip administration tubing, 1 mL of fluid is:
a calibrated chamber that enables precise measurement and delivery of fluids and
medicated solutions
A burette chamber on IV administration tubing is
a Teflon tube.
Hollow-needle catheters do not have:
to attach a 10-mL syringe with 3-5 mL of sterile saline to the cannula.
Consider accessing the external jugular vein if a patient requires immediate fluid
administration. When using this route, remember:
a constricting band left in place
The most common cause of an IV's not flowing properly is:
pyrogenic reaction
If your patient develops an abrupt onset of fever, chills, backache, headache,
nausea, and vomiting within 1⁄2 to 1 hour after an IV was started, the cause may
be:
pulling the Teflon catheter through or over the needle after you have advanced it
into the vein.
Catheter shear is caused by:
occluding the flow of solution from the depleted bag by moving the roller clamp
on the IV administration tubing.
Steps in changing an IV bag or bottle include:
pinch the IV line above the medication port before giving the medication.
When injecting an intravenous bolus of medication into an existing IV site:
agitate the bag or bottle gently to mix its contents.
