The nurse is using a syringe that requires the needle to be screwed into the hub, reducing the risk of the needle or tubing separating from the syringe. Which type of syringe is the nurse using?
1. Smooth graduated-tip syringe
2. Irrigation syringe
3. Luer-Lok syringe
4. Safety needle syringe
Correct Answer: 3
A syringe requiring the needle to be twisted onto the hub is called a Luer-Lok syringe. A smooth graduated tip, called a non-Luer-Lok syringe, allows the needle to be slid over the tip but does not lock in place. An irrigation syringe is generally a 50 mL or larger syringe used for irrigating. A safety needle syringe is a syringe and needle set that reduces the risk of injury to the nurse.
