@berryscrubed: I see a lot of discourse about 45 vs 90 degree subq injections and see nurses do it differently in practice👀💉 The important part isn’t blindly memorizing one angle, it’s understanding the anatomy🧠 Underweight / leaner patients should almost always be injected at a 45 degree angle to ensure the needle is entering the subcutaneous tissue and not going to deep into the muscle. Normal weight / overweight patients, 45-90 degree are both appropriate when enough fatty tissue is grabable that the needle will NOT be making it too deep into the muscle. #nursingstudent #newgradnurse #nursingschool #nurselife #nursing
