What is the Technique for Administering Injections?

Administering injections is a common nursing task. The technique varies depending on the type of injection:
- Intramuscular (IM): Injecting into the muscle, usually the deltoid or gluteus maximus.
- Subcutaneous (SC): Injecting into the fatty layer beneath the skin.
- Intradermal (ID): Injecting just below the skin surface.
Proper technique includes choosing the correct needle size, cleaning the injection site with an alcohol swab, and ensuring the patient is comfortable.
