The purpose of this blog is to assist you with your future clinical rotation that will involve giving intramuscular, subcutaneous and intradermal injections. As you already may be aware, injections will be discussed in your medical surgical lecture as well as inacted and demonstrated in your simulation lab. While reading this course material alone does not prepare you to be proficient in administering injections, it can be used in conjunction with hands on training to promote safe patient care and your knowledge base.
The following essential objectives will be utilized to provide knowledge to the student nurse pertaining to the administration of injections:
The student will be able to make a decision on when to perform an intramuscular, subcutaneous, or intradermal injection.
The student will identify the type of needle and syringes needed to perform an intramuscular, subcutaneous, or intradermal injection.
The student will decide the proper protocol for giving an intramuscular, subcutaneous injection.
The student will be able to choose and identify landmark injection sites for the intramuscular, subcutaneous or intradermal injection.
The student will demonstrate proper documentation for injections.
The students will establish follow-up procedure once injection type have been received.
