Question 2
A Z-tract injection is an injection given in the gluteal
muscle of the buttocks.
Options:
A.
intravenious
B.
intradermal
C.
intramuscular
D.
intra-arterial
Answer:
C
Explanation:
A Z-tract injection is a technique used to administer medication intramuscularly to minimize leakage and irritation of the medication in the subcutaneous tissue. The Z-tract method involves pulling the skin and subcutaneous tissue to one side before inserting the needle into the muscle, injecting the medication, and then releasing the tissue after withdrawing the needle. This "zig-zag" path prevents the medication from leaking back along the needle track. The gluteal muscle, particularly the ventrogluteal or dorsogluteal sites, is commonly used for such injections due to its large muscle mass.
