Question 3 of 35

What is an advantage of using a larger gauge needle (such as a 25 gauge) over a smaller gauge needle (such as a 30 gauge):

1. there is less deflection of the needle with the larger gauge
2. less deflection of tissues leads to greater accuracy of injecting at the proper site of deposition when using a larger gauge
3. needle breakage is less likely to occur when a larger gauge is used
4. it is easier to perform aspiration with a larger gauge needle
   1. 1, 3 and 4 only
   2. 1, 2 and 3 only
   3. 2 and 4 only
   4. all of the above
   5. none of the above
