► THIS SHORT provides a comprehensive guide on how to perform an intramuscular (IM) injection, ensuring proper technique and safety. Follow these detailed steps to master the process:
🛠️ Preparation: Start by getting your injection ready and exposing the injection site on the patient's body.
🧼 Cleaning: Clean the area using an antiseptic pad in a circular motion to reduce the risk of infection.
🗑️ Removing Sheath: Remove the protective cover from the needle and hold the syringe at a 90-degree angle.
📏 Positioning: Ensure proper positioning by standing directly in line with the patient's arm. If you are tall, adjust your stance to maintain a straight-on angle for the injection.
💉 Injection: Insert the needle quickly and smoothly into the muscle, not the subcutaneous tissue, and slowly inject the medication.
🛡️ Withdrawal and Safety: Withdraw the needle slowly and immediately activate the safety shield to prevent accidental needle sticks.
🩹 Post-Injection Care: If there is any bleeding, use a gauze pad to cover the injection site. Apply a Band-Aid or preferred adhesive bandage.
🧘♂️ Patient Comfort: Ensure the patient feels comfortable and relaxed after the injection. Give them a moment to recover and check for any adverse reactions.
This step-by-step guide ensures a safe and effective IM injection process, ideal for nursing students, medical students, and healthcare professionals.
