Needle Types and Their Uses

The video tutorial covers various types of needles used in medical settings, including filter, blunt tip, injection, insulin, butterfly, IV catheter, and intradermal needles. Each type is explained in terms of its specific use, such as drawing medication, administering injections, or conducting tests. The importance of using the correct needle for each task is emphasized, along with safety considerations to prevent injuries.

What is the primary purpose of a filter needle?

• To inject medication directly into the skin

• To administer insulin

• To draw up medications from ampules and filter out glass particles

• To draw blood from veins

Which needle type is not used for injecting directly into the skin?

• Insulin needle

• Intradermal needle

• Filter needle

• Injection needle

Why are blunt tip needles considered safer?

• They are used for insulin administration

• They reduce the risk of needle stick injuries

• They are smaller in size

• They are used for drawing blood

What type of injections are injection needles used for?

• Intramuscular and subcutaneous injections

• Only intradermal injections

• Only insulin injections

• Only drawing blood

Why is it important to use an insulin needle for insulin?

• Because it is larger in size

• Because it is measured in units, not milliliters

• Because it is used for intradermal injections

• Because it is used for drawing blood

What is a unique feature of butterfly needles?

• They are used for insulin administration

• They are used for filtering glass particles

• They are shaped like butterflies and used for drawing blood

• They are used for intramuscular injections

Which needle type is specifically used for drawing blood from hard-to-access veins?

• Filter needle

• Blunt tip needle

• Butterfly needle

• Injection needle

What is the smallest gauge size for IV catheter needles?

• 14 gauge

• 18 gauge

• 20 gauge

• 24 gauge

What is the primary use of intradermal needles?

• For intramuscular injections

• For insulin injections

• For administering TB and allergy tests

• For drawing blood

What determines the choice of gauge for an IV catheter needle?

• The size of the vein and purpose of the infusion

• The patient's age

• The color of the needle

• The type of medication
