What equipment should the nurse use to most accurately measure a 2ml dose of a viscous liquid solution to be given orally?



Correct Answer: D

A tuberculin syringe is designed to measure small volumes of liquid  accurately and is commonly used to measure doses of medication. 

Choice A is not the answer because a sterile needle is not necessary  for measuring an oral dose of medication. 

Choice B is not the answer because a one-ounce medicine cup is not  precise enough to accurately measure a 2 mL dose. 

Choice C is not the answer because a 3 mL syringe may not be precise  enough to accurately measure a 2 mL dose of a viscous liquid solution.
