PHYSIO LAB: MODULE 2 Flashcards
This technique is essential for diagnostic purposes, monitoring animal health, and administering treatments.
Blood collection (venipuncture)
What is crucial to ensure accuracy and minimize stress to animals during blood collection?
Proper technique
This process involves understanding animal anatomy, behavior, and appropriate blood collection sites.
Blood collection
This aspect of blood collection helps detect diseases, infections, and organ function.
Diagnostics
Tracking treatment progress and identifying metabolic disorders falls under this category.
Health Monitoring
What provides critical data for making proper treatment decisions, including medication and surgical interventions?
Blood collection
Early detection of potential health problems contributes to this long-term aspect of animal care.
Preventive Care
This type of syringe features a twist-lock mechanism for secure attachment of the needle.
Luer-lock Syringe
Designed specifically for insulin administration, this small syringe is used for diabetic patients.
Insulin Syringe
Typically a 1ml syringe, this is used for small volume injections, such as tuberculosis tests.
Tuberculin Syringe
What type of syringe has no needle attachment and is used for administering liquid medications orally?
Oral Syringe
This syringe is designed with a longer, tapered tip for easy connection to tubing and is used for various medical applications.
Catheter tip Syringe
This gauge size is typically used for intramuscular injections to accommodate the thicker tissue.
22 or 23 gauge needle
Which gauge needle is recommended for subcutaneous injections to ensure minimal discomfort for the animal?
25-27 gauge needle
A thicker needle, typically 18 or 20 gauge, is used when injecting larger volumes over 5ml.
Larger volume (over 5ml)
For small-volume injections under 1ml, this type of syringe with a fine needle of 27-30 gauge is ideal.
Tuberculin or insulin syringe
This type of needle is best suited for drawing up or injecting viscous or thick solutions.
Larger gauge needle
Vaccines are typically administered using this size of a smaller gauge needle to reduce pain.
Smaller gauge needle
What step involves ensuring all materials like syringes, tubes, and alcohol are ready before starting blood collection?
Preparation
Selecting the cephalic, jugular, or saphenous vein is part of this step in the blood collection process.
