[QUOTE="Keren, post: 659649, member: 3195"] When you give the IM needle, you stick straight into the neck muscle, but another tip to do is draw back the plunger of the syringe slightly, that way you will know if you accidently hit a vein, blood will be sucked into your syringe, pull out and try. If you arent in a vein, nothing will be sucked into your syringe, so you are good to inject. Some meds it doesnt matter if you accidently put them in a vein. But some are not to be given iv, or they have a different dose rate iv. I know of a girl who killed a bull because she gave a im shot accidently into the vein, forgot to pull back to check for blood. Gave the bull his shot, he walked out of the crush and promptly fell over dead. [/QUOTE]
