The health care provider prescribes testosterone (Depo-testosterone) via the intramuscular (IM) route for this client to treat hypogonadism. Which of the following sites should the nurse administer this medication?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C, deltoid muscle. Intramuscular injections of testosterone are typically administered in large muscles with good blood supply for optimal absorption. The deltoid muscle fits these criteria and is a common site for IM injections due to its accessibility. Administering Depo-testosterone in the deltoid muscle ensures proper absorption and distribution of the medication. Lower left (
