Answer to Question 1

sciatic nerve
Recent evidence supports avoiding the traditional dorsogluteal route in favor of the ventrogluteal site. Therefore, the dorsogluteal site should not be used as a site for IM injection. Studies have demonstrated that the exact location of the sciatic nerve varies from one person to another. If a needle hits the sciatic nerve, the patient may experience permanent or partial paralysis of the involved leg.

Answer to Question 2

C
C. If client develops respiratory distress during the suction procedure, oxygen can be administered directly through the catheter.
A, B, and D. If client develops respiratory distress during the suction procedure, immediately withdraw catheter and supply additional oxygen and breaths as needed.
