Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
A 90-degree angle is used to reach the IM area of the dorsogluteal site. A 45-, 60-, or 75-degree angle does not ensure that the needle will penetrate to the muscle in an obese patient.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The deltoid muscle is often used because of its easy access and the fact that it can tolerate 0.5 mL of medication volume. Having the child disrobe is not efficient in this setting.
