What kind of syringe to you use for insulin injections?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
The correct answer is B: U-50 or U-100 insulin syringe. Insulin is typically measured in units, not in milliliters, so using an insulin syringe calibrated in units (U-50 or U-100) ensures accurate dosing. A 1 mL TB syringe (A) is not suitable as it measures in milliliters, not units. Using a 3 mL luer lock syringe (C) can lead to dosing errors as it doesn't provide precise unit measurements needed for insulin injections. Choosing a syringe based on the type of insulin (D) is unnecessary since all insulin types are dosed in units.
