When giving an IM injection the nurse must always?
When giving an intramuscular (IM) injection, the nurse must always ensure to select the appropriate site for injection, commonly the deltoid, vastus lateralis, or ventrogluteal muscles. It is essential to use the correct needle size and length for the patient's age and body mass. The nurse should also clean the injection site with an antiseptic, inject the medication at a 90-degree angle, and aspirate if required by protocol to check for blood return, indicating the injection is not in a blood vessel. Finally, proper documentation and patient monitoring post-injection are crucial.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of intramuscular injection?
The advantages of the deltoid intramuscular injection is that as said before is easy accessible and patients are generally a lot more comfortable with exposing their arms as opposed to another body area. Disadvantages to this site are the size of the muscle mass is small in relation to other IM injection sites.
Why you should not massage the site after IM injection?
Massaging the site after an intramuscular (IM) injection can lead to complications such as increased pain, bruising, and the potential for the medication to disperse too quickly, reducing its effectiveness. Additionally, it may cause irritation or damage to the surrounding tissues. To ensure optimal absorption and minimize discomfort, it's best to leave the injection site undisturbed.
What angle would an IM injection be given?
An intramuscular (IM) injection is typically administered at a 90-degree angle to the skin. This angle ensures that the needle penetrates the muscle tissue effectively, allowing for proper absorption of the medication. It's important to locate the appropriate muscle site and use the correct needle length for optimal results.
What is the most approprite action when you aspirate some blood while administering an IM injection?
If you aspirate blood while administering an intramuscular (IM) injection, the most appropriate action is to withdraw the needle and apply pressure to the injection site. This indicates that you may have entered a blood vessel, so it’s important to select a new site for the injection, ensuring it is free from major blood vessels. Always follow your facility's protocols for IM injections and documentation.

It is important to ensure proper needle insertion depth and angle to avoid injury to underlying structures.
