of ways, including intradermal, subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravenous, intraosseous, and intraperitoneal. Due to the commonplace use of injections, the ability to deliver injections can be seen as a basic clinical
skill and the techniques used having an impact on almost all patients at some point. An injection may be defined as a method of placing a liquid directly into
the body, usually with the use of a or hypodermic hollow needle and a syringe by piercing the skin in so that the liquid can be infused into the body,
with the differing types of injection referring to the area in which they are delivered. Therefore, while this is seen as a basic skill, the ability to administer the injection
requires a full understanding of anatomy so that the injection is administered accurately. The evidence based aspect of injections is mixed. The use of injections is found where admission
by other routes, such as an oral administration is impracticable, such as the time scale needed and injection leading to faster absorption, the potential for ingestion process to alter the
drug and the potential the danger to the liver (Workman, 1999, p47). The efficiency of injections is well understood and established in terms of treatment and immunisations. However, this refers
to the actual treatment and the delivery of the liquid, but not the efficacy of the technique. Malkin (2008, p48) argues
that at least some techniques are based on custom and practice rather than evidence based assessments. Looking principally at intramuscular injections, which are the most common type of injection performed
by nurses, it is argued that there are few changes seen in the practice and consideration for the way injections are delivered since the 1960s (Malkin, 2008, p48). This is
