    In what syringe should a 6 25 ml of a drug solution be measured?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. A 5 mL slip-tip syringe: A 5 mL syringe is the best option for measuring 6.25 mL, although it may require drawing up the medication in two separate amounts (e.g., 5 mL + 1.25 mL). A larger syringe (e.g., 10 mL) would be less precise. B. An insulin syringe – Insulin syringes measure units of insulin, not milliliters, and are not appropriate for non-insulin medications. C. A 1 mL TB syringe – This is used for very small doses (up to 1 mL) and is not practical for 6.25 mL. D. A 3 mL syringe – This is too small for 6.25 mL.
