Question 1 of 5
The nurse is to administer a volume of 2 mL intramuscularly (IM) to a 150-pound client. Assuming that there are no skin problems, which is the preferred site for the injection?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The preferred site for the IM injection in a 150-pound client is the ventrogluteal muscle. This site is recommended for adults due to its large muscle mass, minimal nerves and blood vessels, and reduced risk of hitting the sciatic nerve. The deltoid muscle (choice
C) is typically used for small-volume injections. The vastus lateralis (choice
A) is preferred for infants and young children. The dorsogluteal (choice
B) is not recommended due to the proximity to major nerves and blood vessels.
Therefore, the ventrogluteal site (choice
D) is the safest and most appropriate option for the injection in this scenario.
