ATI LPN Pharmacology N113 Exam Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is preparing to administer vitamin K IM to a newborn. Into which of the following muscles should the nurse inject the medication?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Vastus lateralis. The vastus lateralis is the preferred site for IM injections in newborns due to its large muscle mass and minimal risk of hitting nerves or blood vessels. It is located on the lateral thigh and is easily accessible for injections. Injecting vitamin K IM into the deltoid (
A) is not recommended in newborns due to insufficient muscle mass. Ventrogluteal (
C) and dorsogluteal (
D) sites are not typically used in newborns due to the risk of hitting sciatic nerve or blood vessels. Overall, choosing the vastus lateralis for IM injections in newborns ensures safe and effective administration of medication.
