Question 1 of 5

A nurse is preparing to administer an IM injection to a newborn. Which of the following sites should the nurse select?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Vastus lateralis. For newborns, the vastus lateralis muscle is the preferred site for intramuscular injections due to its large muscle mass, minimal nerves and blood vessels, and reduced risk of hitting bone. It is located on the lateral aspect of the thigh and is easily accessible for injections. This site also allows for proper absorption of the medication. The other options are not ideal for newborns: B: Dorsogluteal is not recommended due to the risk of damaging the sciatic nerve, C: Deltoid is typically used for older children and adults, and D: Rectus femoris is not a common site for IM injections in newborns.
