Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The dorsogluteal site is identified by drawing an imaginary line from the posterior superior iliac spine to the greater trochanter of the femur. The injection is then administered at any point between the imaginary straight line and below the curve of the iliac crest (hipbone).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Absorption rate is determined by the proximity of the medication to the vascular system. Medication injected into an intradermal site is farther away from the vascular system than the other sites. Therefore, absorption in this site is the slowest. Subcut tissue is more vascular than intradermal tissue. IM tissue is more vascular than intradermal tissue. IV administration places medication directly into the vascular system.
