Hypothetically, yes it can. HOWEVER, using sterile water for practicing IM injections will HURT. The sterile water is not isotonic with the cells in your body and will result in both pain and small uncontrolled muscle spasms that will subside in a few minutes. Please if possible use an isotonic sterile saline solution as this should not produce any pain or side effects.

Can saline solution such as for contact lenses work as a fluid to use in syringes to do practice injections?
Saline solution for contact lenses is not typically recommended for use in syringes for practice injections. It may not have the same viscosity, density, and composition as medical saline solution used for injections, which could affect the accuracy and safety of the practice. It is best to use appropriate medical-grade saline solution for practice injections.
