Intra muscular injections can be adminstered at sites having bulk of muscles eg. buttock, arms.

if you r giving it in buttock then palpate for muscle belly clean the area with spirit swab

then insert needle 'perpendiular' to muscle and then slightly pull out piston to check needle is not in any vessel,if no blood came then push the piston slowly.

after adminstering whole drug remove needle and put a swab for 5 minutes
