Question 3

Describe how to administer an intramuscular injection.

Accepted Answer

Administering an intramuscular injection involves several steps. First, gather all necessary supplies including the medication, a syringe, a needle, alcohol swabs, and a bandage. Next, wash your hands thoroughly and prepare the medication according to the instructions provided. Then, select an appropriate injection site such as the deltoid muscle in the upper arm, the vastus lateralis muscle in the thigh, or the ventrogluteal muscle in the hip. Clean the injection site with an alcohol swab and allow it to dry.

Once the site is prepared, hold the syringe like a pencil and use your other hand to stretch the skin around the injection site. Insert the needle at a 90-degree angle and slowly push the plunger to administer the medication. After the medication is injected, remove the needle at the same angle it was inserted and apply pressure to the injection site with a clean alcohol swab. Finally, dispose of the used needle and syringe in a sharps container and apply a bandage if necessary. It is important to follow proper technique and safety precautions when administering an intramuscular injection to ensure the medication is delivered effectively and safely. If you are unsure about the process, it is best to seek guidance from a healthcare professional.
