A nurse is administering a hepatitis B vaccine to a newborn. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

B) can cause pain and tissue damage, inserting the needle at a 45° angle (
C) may not reach the muscle and can cause subcutaneous injection, and using a 21-gauge needle (
D) is not specific to the site and age group, potentially causing discomfort and inadequate absorption.
