Correct Answer: C

Rationale:
Correct
Answer: C - Administer the medication to the abdomen.


Rationale: Heparin is typically administered subcutaneously. The abdomen has a larger subcutaneous tissue area compared to other sites, allowing for better absorption and reducing the risk of tissue damage. Administering heparin in the abdomen also minimizes the risk of hitting blood vessels and nerves. It is important to rotate injection sites to prevent tissue damage and ensure consistent absorption.

Summary of other choices:
A: Stirring the needle to a specific angle is unnecessary and can increase the risk of needle breakage or improper administration.
B: Aspiration is not required for subcutaneous injections as it may cause unnecessary tissue trauma.
D: Massaging the site after injection can lead to bruising and discomfort.
