During the injection, nurses should explain the procedure, properly position the patient, clean the site, insert the needle at a 15 degree angle, and monitor for correct placement of the medication. After injecting, nurses advise the patient, document the procedure, and properly dispose of supplies while monitoring for any adverse reactions.
