injectible prep
vials, needles, angles
| question | answer |
|---|---|
| injections can be given ? intramuscularly | (IM, into muscle) |
| intradermally | (ID under the skin) |
| subcutaneously | (SC, into fatty tissue) |
| intravenously | (IV, into vein) |
| injectable drugs are ordered in? | grams, milligrams,micrograms, grains, units |
| drugs are packages into vials | vials for single and multiple use |
| ampules | in ampules- glass sealed for single dose |
| syringes used for injection include | 3 and 5 ml calibrated syringes |
| (blank) | metal and plastic for prefilled cartridges |
| (blank) | tuberculin syringes and insulin syringes |
| 3 ml syringe is calibrated | in tenths |
| 5 ml syringe is calibrated in | 0.2 ml (used when fluid is more than 2.5 ml) |
| 1 ml tuberculin syringes are calculated in? | tenths,hundreths, minims |
| insulin syringes have a capacity of? | units! (insulin is measured in units!use only insulin syrines for insulin) |
| parts of a syringe | tip, barrel, plunger |
| parts of a needle | bevel, shaft, hub |
| angles for injection: id | intradermal: 10-15 degree |
| sc (sq) | subcutaneous: 45-90 degree |
| im | intramuscular: 90 degree |
| (ID) needle size and length | intradermal: guage: 25,26 length:3/8,1/2,5/8 |
| SC (SQ)nedle size and length | subcutaneous: guage: 23,25,26 length:3/8,1/2,5/8 |
| Im -needle size and length | intramuscular: guage:19,20,21,22 length:1,11/2,2 |
| needle size is determined by | guage (diameter of the lumen) and length |
| lg ? guage, ?small diameter | larger guage number = smaller diameter of lumen |
| sm ? guage, ? diameter | smaller guage number = larger diameter of lumen. |
| needle guage for IM thick solutions | 19,20 |
| needle guage for IM thin solutions | 20.21 |
| common site for IM injetions | deltoid,dorsogluteal,ventrogluteal,vastus lateralis |
