Question 1 of 5

A nurse is preparing to administer 2.5 mL of medication intramuscularly to an adult client. Which of the following is the safest site for the nurse to use?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Ventrogluteal. This site is considered the safest for intramuscular injections in adults due to its location away from major nerves and blood vessels. The steps to determine the correct site include assessing landmarks to locate the greater trochanter, anterior superior iliac spine, and iliac crest. The nurse should then place the palm of their hand over the greater trochanter with the fingers pointing towards the client's head and the thumb pointing towards the client's groin. The injection site is in the center of the V-shaped area formed by the fingers. This technique ensures proper administration and minimizes the risk of injury or complications. Other choices are incorrect because they may pose risks of nerve damage (Dorsogluteal), potential injury to the femoral nerve (Rectus femoris), or inadequate muscle mass for adults (Vastus lateralis).
