Pre-hire exams

Nurses General Nursing

Today I applied for a job and had to take a pre-hire exam at a LTC facility. It consisted of matching, MC, writing a nurses note and dosage problems. Thankfully I passed and have an interview scheduled for next week.

Monday I have to take another pre-hire exam at a hospital and I have been studying really hard for it. I do have one question that stumped me today and I don't want to get it wrong just in case I see it again. Here it goes:

What is the max. cc's that can be given IM and sub q . On my exam today I put 0.5-1cc for IM and 2cc for sub q. I'm not sure if I'm correct and wanted to double check with you all. I did a google search and checked the CDC but didn't not find clear answers. Thanks in advance for your help. :)

Specializes in geriatrics.

When I give IM it's either the ventrogluteal site or the vastus lateralis. Unless it's a flu shot, the deltoid would be my last choice.
