Question 1 of 5

A nurse is preparing to administer an IM injection to a client who has gonorrhea. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Use the Z-track technique to administer the medication. The Z-track technique involves pulling the skin laterally before injecting the medication to prevent leakage and irritation. This is crucial when administering IM injections to prevent the medication from leaking into the subcutaneous tissue. Option A is incorrect because the injection site for IM injections should be at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from the umbilicus. Option B is incorrect because a larger needle gauge (e.g., 22-25 gauge) is typically used for IM injections to reduce discomfort and prevent medication leakage. Option D is incorrect because aspirating prior to injection is not necessary for IM injections and may cause tissue damage.
