Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer an IM injection to a client who is obese. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Use the ventrogluteal site. This site is recommended for obese clients as it has a thicker muscle mass, reducing the risk of reaching subcutaneous tissue and ensuring proper medication absorption. A: A 1-inch needle may not be long enough to reach the muscle in obese clients. B: Using a 45° angle is not necessary for IM injections, especially in obese clients where a 90° angle is preferred. D: Pinching the skin up is not needed for IM injections and may lead to improper needle insertion.
