Medication Administration for NCLEX, ATI and HESI

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.

[@pauladae4502]

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

[@caitlynballard4447]

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

[@jasonzhao9641]

Yea in her other pharm video she said a 6 month old infant and said vastus lateralis as the appropriate site

Have you been struggling with NCLEX be it LPN or RN, have you taken the exam for more than once? Are you taking it for the first time? Do you have a too busy schedule to study? Get to Dr Luther for your NCLEX assistance. I’m so happy I finally passed my exams thanks to him. He’s got a magical qbank which will help you become a RN.

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.

[@quyteriascott546]

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...

If you apply for a compact license, are your Nclex questions different or harder than if you just pick your current state? Thank you

[@NexusNursing]

no because you don’t apply for compact until after you are licensed.

I want to know more of this

[@lisaclermont2491]

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!

[@Respiratory2007]

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

[@ibetbarrera9518]

Thanks alot, you look beautiful

[@kongmbomryan9346]

Have you been struggling with your NCLEX be it LPN or RN, have you taken the exam for more than once? Are you taking it for the first time? Do you have a busy schedule to study for test? Get to Dr Jayden for your NCLEX test assistance. I'm so happy that I passed my NCLEX test thanks to him. He has a perfect qbank and a magical strategy which will give a positive outcome with your NCLEX test.

I am a bit confused by the IM injection site for the baby because you have another video that contradicts what you said in this video.

Yeah im from PA and i was taught the vascus lateralis

[@caretotrainllc4662]

Hello, you keep calling the incorrect number with the correct answer.

[@Blueskywatcher]

Buccal is pronounced "buckle."

[@bresmom2012]

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.
