The nerve to be concerned with when giving an injection into the buttocks is

Sciatic
Femoral
Radial
Ulnar

The correct answer is: Sciatic

The nerve to be concerned with when giving an injection into the buttocks is the sciatic nerve. This is because the sciatic nerve runs down the back of the leg and can easily be damaged if the injection is not administered correctly. The femoral nerve runs down the front of the thigh and is not at risk during a buttock injection. The radial and ulnar nerves are located in the arm and are not relevant to this scenario. It is important for medical professionals to be aware of the location and potential risks of nerves when administering injections to ensure patient safety.
