Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Using the palm of the hand to locate the trochanter and positioning the tip of the finger on the anterior iliac spine is the most appropriate and reliable method to locate the ventrogluteal site. This ensures that the injection is given into the gluteus medius muscle, which is the largest and deepest of the gluteal muscles, and avoids injury to nerves and blood vessels. Using the upper outer buttocks quadrant may result in injection into the subcutaneous tissue, and giving below the deltoid tuberosity or anywhere in the quadriceps femoris is not appropriate for ventrogluteal injections.
