What is the Correct Technique for Administering Injections?
When administering injections, it is important to follow a sterile technique to prevent infection. Identify the correct site for injection, disinfect the area with an alcohol swab, and use a new needle and syringe. Make sure to aspirate if necessary and inject at the proper angle: intramuscular injections typically at 90 degrees, and subcutaneous injections at 45 degrees.
