A nurse is preparing to administer an intramuscular injection. Which of the following sites is most appropriate for an adult patient?
Correct answer
D
Rationale
The ventrogluteal site is safest for IM injections in adults, minimizing nerve or vessel damage. Deltoid and vastus lateralis are alternatives but less preferred, and dorsogluteal is avoided due to sciatic nerve risk.
