Answer to Question 1

C
The vastus lateralis is the appropriate site for IM injection in the neonate and infants. The dorsal gluteal site cannot be used until the child is established in walking. The ventral gluteal is an alternative site in the older infant. The deltoid site is not used until young school age for immunizations.

1. Smoking is not associated with increased risk for pre-eclampsia.
