Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning to administer ceftriaxone IM to an adult client. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Administer the medication using a Z-track technique. This technique helps prevent medication leakage into the subcutaneous tissue, reducing irritation and improving absorption.
To perform a Z-track injection, the nurse pulls the skin to one side, inserts the needle at a 90° angle, administers the medication, holds the needle in place briefly, withdraws the needle, and then releases the skin. This method ensures that the medication is delivered into the muscle and minimizes the risk of leakage or staining of the skin.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not address the correct technique for administering an IM injection with ceftriaxone.
