It is preferable to use large muscles. Because injecting into a tense muscle is painful and increases the risk of bleeding, it is important that the client relaxes beforehand.  <\/p><p>For small amounts of fluid, the m. deltoidus, the proximal upper arm muscle, is usually used. You then insert the injection two finger widths below the acromion. Another suitable muscle to inject into is the vastus lateralis muscle. This is located on the outside of the thigh. You then inject into the middle part on the outside of the thigh.    <\/p><p>The gluteus maximus muscle is also a muscle that is often used for intramuscular injections. You may only inject into the upper and outer quadrant. The injection is absorbed into the body by these three muscles at about the same rate.
