The nurse should use a darting motion to clean the injection site before administering an intramuscular injection.
Intramuscular injections are delivered into the muscle. They are faster to absorb and provide faster results. The two most common sites used for these injections include the deltoid muscle of the upper arm and the gluteal muscle of the buttock.
Vaccines used recently like Covexin was injected through an intramuscular injection. Other medications like antibiotics, immunoglobulins, and hormones are administered through IM injections.
The site to be delivered with an IM injection should first be cleaned with some antimicrobial before administering the injection. The site then should be allowed to dry to avoid the liquid entering the muscle with the injection and causing discomfort. The injection then should be delivered in a short, darting motion to reduce the discomfort and pain caused to the patient.
