Extract:
The nurse needs to administer an intramuscular (IM) injection to a 2-year-old child.
Question 1 of 5
Where is the best site to administer the injection?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A, the anterior outer quadrant of the thigh, for administering injections. This site is preferred due to a higher muscle mass, minimal nerve and vascular structures, and easy accessibility. It reduces the risk of hitting major blood vessels, nerves, or bones. The deltoid muscle in the arm (choice
B) is not recommended for large volumes due to the risk of nerve injury. The upper outer quadrant of the buttocks (choice
C) carries the risk of sciatic nerve damage.
Choice D is incorrect as the buttocks have a higher risk of hitting the sciatic nerve compared to the thigh.
