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: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Administer the medication using a Z-track technique. When administering ceftriaxone IM, using a Z-track technique helps prevent leakage of the medication into subcutaneous tissues, reducing irritation and pain at the injection site. The Z-track method involves pulling the skin laterally before administering the medication and releasing it after injection to create a seal that prevents medication leakage. Using a 5/8-inch needle (choice
A) may not be long enough for IM injection. Administering in the deltoid muscle (choice
C) is not recommended for ceftriaxone due to the volume of the medication. Administering at a 45° angle (choice
D) is not necessary for IM injections and may not be appropriate for ceftriaxone.
