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.

Yes, it can be used and has been used for practice IM injections. Some sites you can get away with 3ml but for "practice" injections and specific site recommendations, it would be wiser to inject no more than 0.5ml to 1.0ml. Needs to be normal saline though, not sterile water.
