Learn the important NCLEX, ATI and HESI concepts to know regarding medication administration. Learn how to choose the right answer and eliminate wrong choice options.
1. The vastus lateralis remains the only recommended site until the age of 3 years when the ventrogluteal site can be used. 2. The deltoid muscle is rarely used in children under 6 years of age and then only for small amounts of medication.
Professor D, I wish you response to this post because I have see it on the official website of the United States Government that the ventrogluteal area is a suitable site for intramuscular vaccination of infants and toddles. and that it is an ongoing research
the CDC said in 09/2022 that vastus lateralis is the recommended site. ATI book for 2022 also says vastus lateralis for infants/children. www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/admin/downloads/IM-Injection-Infants-508.pdf @@pauladae4502
Thank you Professor D! I’m a new Nursing Graduate, I watched you the whole time I was in school. There’s never a time I watch your videos and don’t gain valuable nursing knowledge that I nvr knew I needed 👍🏽❤️‼️
Thank you so much!! I love your pace and on point explanations for each option. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼I’m planning on binge watching (listening ;)) to your videos every time i’m driving. please keep making them! I subscribed 🤓🙌🏼
Hello, you accidentally mixed up question 2 together. You said the answer was 4 toxic. It is actually 2 toxic. But thanks for your teaching!!!!! It literally puts me in a zone to understand 🙂
awe thank you!! It’s funny that you should mention that because I am literally about to film on this exact subject. It will post in a few weeks though so stay tuned!!

These videos are very helpful, but I really need for you to get your numbers together because you are mixing them up. But the info is very great, thank you!
Hi thank you for this video, I have a question I’m very confused about the answer. Documents the medication : we have morphine 10mg q4h prn: the medication is giving at 10am; 2pm ; 6pm. You choose number 3 as a good answer. Please can you help.
Thank you for your amazing videos. You mention Florida boards like to kill us with diabetes questions did you ever do a video going over the most asked questions on Florida boards as you mention?
Hi Professor D, I am just reviewing for my final and I am a bit confused because on this video you stated IM injections for children 1 and under is the ventrogluteal ; yet in your Pharmcology 1 video, you had an IM question at 7:10 about a 6 month old and stated the answer was the vastus lateralis instead of the ventral gluteal... I am a bit perplexed about this...
I'm sorry but I'm pretty sure the answer to ? # 4 is answer 1. Here's what I'm thinking: QID, TID, etc. are for a patient's waking hours. Realistically, in a medical setting; to simplify administration, "waking hours" meds are given with the last dose scheduled for 12 hours after the 1st dose. (Add the info. that the nurse is documenting administration (not describing the actual order). Tricky wording open for interpretation? Red flag that part because the info that ISN'T written can be as important as what IS given in some of these questions. "medication IS given" does not say that is the ordered time for administration i.e. : "is to be given" or "ordered to be given". BID (answer #2) would be scheduled for 10 AM and 10 PM TID?:(Answer#3) 10 AM, 2 PM, 10 PM Every 8? (Answer#4) 10 AM, 6 PM, 2 PM The only possible answer (although timed THAT perfectly is REALLY unlikely) is Every 4 hours PRN (but you gotta be working 1 on 1 and your patient's meds should probably be adjusted!) 10 AM, 2 PM, 6 PM, etc Often I have to actually DO the task (in my head) to get some of these answers!
I agreed, the key word for answer 1 was “Q4 PRN”, that’s exactly how the med was given, love your videos Professor D, thanks for all you do for the nursing career

You are confusing saying the wrong numbers for the answers but saying the right answers that don’t the numbers you are saying I’m already confused enough trying to learn.
