The nurse is irrigating a wound with a wide opening. What equipment would be appropriate for the nurse to use?
a. A 10-mL syringe with a 20-gauge needle
b. A 35-mL syringe with a 19-gauge angi-ocatheter
c. A 50-mL syringe with a 27-gauge needle
d. A 60-mL syringe with a 24-gauge angi-ocatheter
B
The 19-gauge catheter lumen and the volume of the syringe provide the ideal pressure for clean-ing the wound and removing debris. A 1-mL syringe is too small. The 20-gauge needle is similar to the size of the angiocatheter and could be used. A 27-gauge needle and a 24-gauge angioca-theter are both too small.
