A. deltoid

B. ventrogluteal

C. dorsogluteal

D. vastus lateralis

Your response:
vastus lateralis
Correct response:
vastus lateralis
Rationale: The preferred site for an intramuscular injection on a 6-month old child is the vastus
lateralis, or outer thigh, because infants have the most muscle mass in that area. The deltoid
muscle isn’t typically used for intramuscular injections until age 3 and older; the ventrogluteal
muscle, the hip, isn’t used for infants until 7 months or older. The dorsogluteal muscle, the
buttocks, is only used for children and adults.
Which of the following names should come first when working with an alpha-numeric filing
system?

A. Jonathan A. Mendez I

B. Jonathan A. Mendez II

C. Peter G. Burns Jr.

D. Peter G. Burns Sr.

Your response:
Peter G. Burns Jr.
Correct response:
Peter G. Burns Jr.
Rationale: When using the alpha-numeric filing system the files need to be placed in
alphabetical order, as well as numerical order. "B" is before "M", "Jr." before "Sr." and "I"
before "II". Peter G. Burns Jr. would come first, because it has the correct alphabetical order
(and has no numerical consideration). The second in line would be Peter G. Burns Sr. (followed
by Jonathan A. Mendez I then Jonathan A. Mendez II).
