Question 1 of 5

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

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Administer the injection into the vastus lateralis muscle. This is the recommended site for administering vaccines to newborns due to the large muscle mass, reducing the risk of injury to nerves and blood vessels. It also allows for proper absorption of the vaccine. Option B is incorrect as vigorous massage can lead to tissue damage and discomfort. Option C is incorrect as the needle should be inserted at a 90° angle for intramuscular injections. Option D is incorrect as a smaller gauge needle (typically 25-27 gauge) is recommended for newborns to minimize pain and tissue trauma.
