ANS: C
The most appropriate needle gauge for pediatric IM injections is a 25- or 27-gauge, 1 inch needle. An 18-gauge, 1 inch needle is too short and too large in diameter for pediatric injections. A 20-gauge, inch needle is too short and too large in diameter for pediatric injections. A 25-gauge, inch needle is too short for pediatric IM injections.
