A nurse is preparing to administer an intradermal injection for a client who requires a tuberculin skin test. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take?
Explanation & Rationale
A. A tuberculin skin test requires a short, fine needle (usually 25–27 gauge, 3/8–5/8 inch), not a 1-inch needle. B. Pulling the skin taut with the nondominant hand helps stabilize the area for proper intradermal injection and ensures accurate administration. C. Only 0.1 mL of tuberculin solution is drawn up and injected intradermally, not 0.9 mL. D. The syringe should be held at a 5–15 degree angle to inject intradermally, not 45 degrees.
