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: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Vastus lateralis. This muscle is the preferred site for IM injections in newborns due to its large size, minimal nerves and blood vessels, and easy accessibility. It is located on the lateral aspect of the thigh. Injecting vitamin K into the vastus lateralis muscle ensures proper absorption and distribution of the medication. The other choices are incorrect because the deltoid muscle (
B) is not recommended for newborns due to its small size and proximity to nerves and blood vessels. The dorsogluteal (
C) and ventrogluteal (
D) muscles are not recommended for newborns due to the risk of injury to the sciatic nerve and lack of muscle mass for proper absorption.
