A, B, C
The nurse needs to determine the appropriate size of syringe and needle to be used. The smallest syringe possible for the volume of medication should be used to improve the accuracy of medication preparation. The needle length is chosen by the patient's size and weight, the type of tissue to be injected, and the route of administration. The needle gauge is determined by the viscosity of the medication.
