Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning to administer an IM injection into a client's deltoid muscle. Which action should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Inject the medication at a 90-degree angle. When administering an IM injection into the deltoid muscle, the nurse should use a 90-degree angle to ensure proper medication delivery into the muscle tissue. Injecting at a 90-degree angle helps to ensure that the medication is deposited into the muscle and absorbed effectively. Injecting a volume of less than 2 mL (choice
A) is not specific to the deltoid muscle and may vary based on the muscle site. Injecting the medication 12.7 cm (5 in) below the client's acromion process (choice
C) is not accurate for the deltoid muscle site. Using a 21-gauge needle (choice
D) is not specific to the angle of injection and may not ensure proper delivery into the muscle.
