1 answer:

There are only 3 sites for intramuscular injections, most commonly the deltoid then the ventrogluteal, and lastly the vastus lateralis for infants. If the site is a "hard muscle" or when the muscle is in constant spasm, then an intramuscular injection should not be done. Other reasons why an intramuscular injection cannot be done on a specific site are (1) atrophied muscle on an emanciated patient (i.e. malnourished or cachectic patients), (2) skin infection overlying the muscle group, and (3) the dorsogluteal muscle as this can hit the sciatic nerve and cause paralysis and other neuropathy of the ipsilateral leg.

Humanistic theorists have been criticized for

bija089 [108]

Answer:

underestimating the inherent human capacity for destructive and evil behaviors.

Explanation:

Instinct -- it's something each and every individual is born with. It's not something we learn or something we see or something experience teaches us. For example, why someone likes strawberries, someone does not? Or why we pull away when a bad scent occurs? Why we blink? And many more. It's the same with violence -- someone is born with it in themselves, and someone, simply, is not.
