Can anybody tell me what the recommended amount per intramuscular injection is, include deltoid, and ventroglutrial areas please. I am a nursing student, 18 days away from graduating and I am trying to disprove a question, in which my instructor accepted an answer of 4 mls per injection, and I gave 2 mls on my answer. This may have caused me to fail the entire program, because I failed this math test last week. I need expert help! Please reply asap to girlbronson@yahoo.com Thank in advance. 71.31.87.182 20:16, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
You can give up to 5ml in ventroglutrialm and no more tham 1ml in deltoid. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.239.219.212 ( talk) 02:03, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
I can understand the confusion, because I was taught you can give up to a certain amount of cc's, but for the comfort of the patient, you would never want to inject more than 3 cc's in the same spot. Particularly, the deltoid. but, like all nursing questions....there is always more than one answer. The best answer is up to the teacher...oh wait....lol :o)

Overall, the article is really good. The only major issue is the lack of inline citations for certain sections. I have given a fail to 2a because the citation coverage is not as comprehensive as required for GA status, but this can soon be rectified. I have given a fail to 2c because, without the inline citations, it can only be assumed that the content is original research (although it probably is not). I would like to thank Berchanhimez for his excellent edits so far, and I hope that he will soon be able to resolve the minor issues raised. Thanks! Bibeyjj ( talk) 21:34, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
The current references are very good. However, there are large sections of text that remain unreferenced (such as the lead section, and the "Risks and complications" section). This needs to be rectified, but I imagine that it will not be too difficult. It would also be appreciated to have inline citations for the lead section as well. Bibeyjj ( talk) 21:19, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
An update - User:Bibeyjj - I've gone through and done some work on more than just risks and complications. If you think any specific information still needs an inline citation please feel free to "call it out" here and I'll be more than able to do such. Thanks again. -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez ( User/ say hi!) 04:53, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
The images included are relevant, well-captioned, and formatted correctly. I would appreciate an image for either the "Contraindications" or "Risks and complications" section. However, this is not strictly essential, and the current images are suitable, giving good coverage. Bibeyjj ( talk) 21:27, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
First, thanks for the review. I'll do my best to respond in a decent time frame - I surprisingly (coincidentally?) have a tad bit of free time to work on this tonight but with COVID spikes my real life has been hectic and sometimes unpredictable - I will update you as to my progress as I go. I've done what I can for the images, and will work on the citations tonight if I can or over the next few days - again it'd help greatly if you'd be able to point out any specific places you feel need more citations, but if not I'll do what I can and then have you take another look and see if it's acceptable. Thanks. -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez ( User/ say hi!) 01:52, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
Hi Berchanhimez! Thank you for your most recent edits. I completely agree with your interpretation of referencing the lead paragraph - as you say, everything is mentioned somewhere else in the article with a good reference. You have added good references where they were needed, so I have passed 2a and 2c. I also appreciate you looking for new images, which are really helpful. As such, this is a well-deserved Good Article.
Many congratulations! Bibeyjj ( talk) 08:19, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Until the introduction of antibiotics in the late 1940s, the administration of medications by the IM route was a skill that was al-most exclusively practiced by physicians (Stokes,Beerman, & Ingraham, 1944)... In 1961, Zelman noted that nurses had essen-tially taken over the procedure of IM injection.- I think the unambiguous 20th century is good and I'll work on improving it in the article tomorrow - I'm late to bed as it is now. I can see if it is too close to "synth" to include antibiotic use as a "reason", and am open to suggestions to improve the hook wording to make it better. Regards -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez ( User/ say hi!) 06:56, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
The vast majority of these are given for curative purposes with 20 therapeutic injections being administered for every vaccination given. Regards -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez ( User/ say hi!) 04:16, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
20 different injections? And in the article,
20 other injectionsor
20 types of injections? Thanks for clarifying. Yoninah ( talk) 22:15, 27 December 2020 (UTC)
I would like to see some mention of injection into fatty tissues, especially insulin for patients who have some level of obesity as a side effect of the diabetes disease. It is actually recommended on the package of this medication to rotate injection sites from belly fat to thigh muscles/fat. While this is not technically into a muscle, it seems to have the same effects while providing a more convenient and comfortable site for injection. Gallomimia ( talk)Gallomimia
Need a separate section for this, or even a separate article ("Aspiration recommendations around the world"?) Lawrence18uk ( talk) 05:44, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
