Which of the following describes how full a sharps container should be for disposal?

A. Bevel up with a 45° angle: A 45° angle is too steep for venipuncture; this angle is typically used for intramuscular injections.
B. Bevel down with a 45° angle: Bevel down is incorrect for venipuncture as it increases the risk of the needle piercing through the vein.
C. Bevel up with a 15° angle: This is the correct technique for venipuncture. The needle should be inserted at a 15° to 30° angle, with the bevel facing up to ensure smooth entry into the vein and minimize discomfort.
D. Bevel down with a 15° angle: Bevel down is not recommended for venipuncture because it can cause the needle to catch on the vein wall, increasing the risk of injury or complications.

A. Orthopedic: Orthopedic specialists focus on musculoskeletal issues such as bones and joints, not coronary artery disease.
B. Neurology: Neurologists treat neurological disorders affecting the brain and nervous system, not coronary artery disease.
C. Bariatric: Bariatric specialists focus on weight loss and obesity-related conditions, which are not the primary treatment focus for coronary artery disease.
D. Cardiology: Cardiologists specialize in heart conditions, including coronary artery disease, and are the appropriate specialists for managing and treating this condition.
