d.


Once I start feeling better, I will stop taking my medication. - Answer✔️✔️-c.


I will rotate the location where I give myself injections.




ANS: C


Rotating injection sites provides greater consistency in absorption of

medication. Parenteral medication absorption is not affected by the timing

of meals. Taking a medication 30 minutes late is within the 60-minute

window of the time medications should be taken. Medications should be

stopped based on the providers orders. With some medications, such as

antibiotics, it is crucial that the full course of medication is taken to avoid

relapse of infection.


2. Which statement by the patient is an indication to use the Z-track

method?

subcutaneous tissue to go through, a needle of a different size may be

selected.
