Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Using the dorsogluteal site can lead to nerve damage, and is not recommended as a site for intramuscular injections.
Rationale 2: The rectus femoris muscle is used only occasionally for intramuscular injections because it is painful.
Rationale 3: The vastus lateralis muscle is recommended for infants younger than 1 year of age, although it can be used for clients of all ages.
Rationale 4: The deltoid muscle is not used often for intramuscular injections because it is a relatively small muscle and is very close to the radial nerve and radial artery. It is sometimes considered for use in adults because of rapid absorption from the deltoid area, but no more than 1 mL of solution can be administered. This site is recommended for the administration of hepatitis B vaccine in adults.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 4, 5
Rationale: When documenting after providing an otic medication, the nurse should include the name of the drug.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
