The nurse is administering an intradermal (ID) injection to a client. Which action should the nurse take?

A. Select upper arm as the injection site is incorrect. While the upper arm can be an appropriate site for an intradermal injection, the most common site for ID injections is the inner forearm. The choice of site depends on the procedure and provider's preferences. B. Massage the site gently after injection is incorrect. Massaging the site after an intradermal injection can disrupt the injection, causing the medication to be dispersed under the skin rather than remaining in the dermis. C. Ensure bevel of the needle is pointing up is the correct action. For intradermal injections, the bevel of the needle should be facing upward to ensure that the medication is injected just beneath the skin, creating a visible wheal. D. Hold the syringe perpendicular to the skin is incorrect. For intradermal injections, the needle should be inserted at a 5-15 degree angle to the skin, not perpendicular.
