Read each question carefully and provide the best answer based on your understanding of reading syringe measurements. Pay close attention to the units and the smallest increments on each syringe.
1. What is the primary unit of measurement typically found on most medical syringes for liquid volume?
2. Explain why it is crucial to read the measurement at the bottom of the meniscus when measuring liquid in a syringe.
3. Which type of syringe is typically used for very small, precise measurements, often in units of insulin or tenths of a milliliter?
Standard syringe
Oral syringe
Insulin syringe
Tuberculin syringe
4. A common 10 mL syringe usually has major markings for every mL and minor markings for every mL.
5. If a syringe has markings from 0 to 5 mL, with each major line representing 1 mL and 10 small lines between each major line, then each small line represents mL.
6. Observe the syringe below. What volume is indicated by the plunger?
7. It is acceptable to estimate syringe measurements if the liquid volume is not critical.
True
False
