Why is the Vastus Lateralis Muscle Important for Intramuscular Injections?
The vastus lateralis muscle is a preferred site for intramuscular injections for several reasons:
1. Large Muscle Mass: It can accommodate larger volumes of medication. 2. Few Major Blood Vessels and Nerves: This reduces the risk of complications. 3. Easy Access: It is accessible in both adults and children, making it versatile.
