Example of how questions should look: side2: A method of medication delivery directly into a muscle. side1: Intramuscular Injection side2: name all the vitals, side1: body temp, pulse rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation side2: 3 methods of medicine administration, side1: oral, topical, IV side2: The process of drawing blood, side1: Phlebotomy side2: The process of inserting a cannula into a vein to provide venous access., side1: Intravenous Cannulation Process Obviously the answer (side1) should not be in side2, as we are teaching/testing memorization.
