When connecting a needle to a syringe, the nurse connects which part of the needle to which part of the syringe?
1. The cannula of the needle connects to the barrel of the syringe.
2. The hub of the needle connects to the tip of the syringe.
3. The tip of the needle connects to the hub of the syringe.
4. The bevel of the needle connects to the plunger of the syringe.
Correct Answer: 2
The hub of the needle fits onto the tip of the syringe. The cannula or shaft of the needle is the long part of the needle, and the bevel is the slanted part of the tip of the needle. The barrel of the syringe is the part where the calibrations are written, and the plunger is the part that the nurse depresses to inject fluid from the barrel.
