A nurse is preparing to administer an intramuscular injection to a
client who is overweight which of the following side should the
nurse select for the injection?
a) lower medial quadrant of the buttock near the coccyx
b) side hip between the iliac crest and anterior iliac spine
c) tissue of the posterior upper arm
d) lower inner thigh 4 finger-widths above the patella - ANSWER-
b) side hip between the iliac crest and anterior iliac spine
the side head between the iliac crest and the anterior iliac
spine forms the boundaries for a ventrogluteal injection
therefore this is an appropriate site for the nurse to select.
This site is preferred for intramuscular injections for an
adult-client. The nurse should prepare for injection by
placing a hand on the client's greater trochanter (right hand
on left hip) with the first 2 fingers touching the iliac crest and
anterior superior iliac spine, forming a "V" shape.

- a) to administer an intramuscular injection of an
intramuscular medication using the dorsogluteal site the
nurse should select the upper lateral quadrant of the
buttocks. However, this site can increase the risk of energy
injury to the client because the medication is more likely to
be injected into subcutaneous tissue and there is an
increased risk of piercing the sciatic nerve
- c) the nurse should select the outer posterior tissue of the
upper arm when preparing to administer a subcutaneous
injection. For intramuscular injections that are < 1mL, the
nurse may select the deltoid muscle by placing four fingers
on the deltoid muscle with the top finger on the acromion
process. The injection site then is 3 finger-widths below the
acromion process, or about 5 cm (2in).
- d) to administer intramuscular medication using the vastus
lateralis site, the nurse should select the middle portion of
the muscle from the midline of the thigh to the midline of the
outer side of the thigh. The nurse can place a hand below the
greater trochanter, and the other hand just above the knee to
locate the middle portion of the muscle for the injection site

A nurse is performing eye irrigation for a client who was exposed
to smoke and ash. Which of the following action should the nurse
take?
a) hold the irrigator 1.25 centimeters (0.5 in) above the eye
b) wrap the irrigation solution up to the upper island eyelid
c) exert pressure on the bony prominences when holding the
eyelids open
d) direct the irrigation from the outer canthus to the inter canthus
of the eye - ANSWER-c) exert pressure on the bony prominences
when holding the eyelids open
The nurse should hold the upper lid against the eyebrow in
the lower eyelid against the cheekbone when irrigating the
eye
- a)the nurse should hold the irrigator 2.5 cms (1 in) above
the eye to keep the irrigator from touching the eye in to
prevent the solution from damaging the eye tissue
- b) the nurse should direct the irrigation solution onto the
lower conjunctival sac to avoid injuring the cornea and
having contaminated fluid flow down the nasolacrimal duct

- d) the nurse should direct the irrigation solution from the
inner canthus to the outer canthus to avoid injuring the
cornea and having continuous fluid flow down the
nasolacrimal duct.
The nurse is changing the subclavian dressing of a client who is
receiving total parenteral nutrition. When assessing the catheter
insertion site, the nurse notes the presence of yellow drainage
from around the sutures that are anchoring the catheter. Which
action should the nurse take first?
1. Clean the insertion site and redress the area.
2. Document assessment findings in the client's chart.
3. Obtain a culture specimen of the drainage.
4. Notify the physician. - ANSWER-3. The nurse should first
obtain a culture specimen. The presence of drainage is a
potential indication of an infection and the catheter may need
to be removed. A culture specimen should be obtained and
sent for analysis so that treatment can be promptly initiated.
Since removing the catheter will be required in the presence
of an infection, the nurse would not clean and redress the
area. After the culture report is obtained, the nurse should
