Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The average cord separates in 10 to 14 days; 3 days is too soon and 16 to 28 days is too late. The cord should be separated by these times.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The vastus lateralis is the traditionally recommended injection site. The deltoid and dorsogluteal sites are not recommended for the vitamin K administration. The ventrogluteal may be used as an alternative site to the vastus lateralis. The vastus medialis is not used for intramuscular injections.
