this is very interesting and educational tnx so much
thanks a lot for the video
wow, this video is lacking. 1. Use Z-track method. 2. no need to aspirate on deltoid (though I guess it's not "wrong"), 3. inject over 10 seconds per 1ml of medication. 4. After injection, don't just walk away: provide for patient comfort & safety, evaluate result of medication, record medication administration on MAR...
Technique is good, but important to also use a safety device on needle. I recommend Kendall Monoject safety needles. The safety needle devices are easy to engage with one swift motion, and will not get in the way. You protect yourself as well as other workers when safety devices are used.
