Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Usually, a 25-gauge, 5/8-inch needle is used for Sub-Q injections and a 22- or 20-gauge, 1 1/2-inch needle is used for IM injections.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Following administration of midazolam, continuous monitoring for respiratory depression is required, and if necessary, age-specific resuscitative measures should be implemented. Increased ICP, rhabdomyolysis, and hemorrhage are less likely than respiratory depression.
