A charge nurse is evaluating the time management skills of a newly licensed nurse. Which of the following actions should the charge nurse Identify as an effective time management skill?

A.

A. Ventrogluteal - The ventrogluteal site is preferred for intramuscular injections in adults due to its proximity to large, deep muscles and minimal risk of injury to major nerves and blood vessels.

B. Dorsogluteal - The dorsogluteal site is not recommended for intramuscular injections due to the risk of injury to the sciatic nerve and superior gluteal artery.

C. Vastus lateralis - The vastus lateralis is a safe site for intramuscular injections, particularly in infants and young children.

D. Rectus femoris - The rectus femoris muscle is not typically used for intramuscular injections due to its superficial location and proximity to major blood vessels.

A. Adjusting the straps on the harness once per week is not recommended. The straps should only be adjusted by a healthcare provider to ensure proper fit and alignment, as incorrect adjustments can compromise the effectiveness of the treatment.

B. Using ultra-thin diapers applied over the straps is incorrect. Diapers should be placed under the harness to prevent soiling and maintain the harness's effectiveness. Placing diapers over the straps can interfere with proper positioning.

C. Maintaining the child in a prone position while the harness is in place is not necessary. The Pavlik harness is designed to keep the hips in a flexed and abducted position, and the infant can remain in various positions that are comfortable and safe.

D. Gently massaging the skin under the straps once per day is correct. This helps prevent skin irritation and promotes circulation. Guardians should also check for redness or irritation and ensure the harness fits properly to avoid pressure injuries.
