Question 1 of 5
A patient has an order for a subcutaneous injection of insulin. The nurse will prepare to give this injection into which of the following tissues?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D, into the fatty tissue of the patient's abdomen. Subcutaneous injections are given into the fatty layer just below the skin. The abdomen provides a good site for subcutaneous injections due to the presence of an adequate fat layer. This allows for a slower, sustained release of insulin into the bloodstream.
Choices A and B are intramuscular injection sites, not appropriate for subcutaneous administration.
Choice C, into the patient's intravenous line, is incorrect as subcutaneous injections are not meant for administration through IV lines. In summary, the correct choice is D as it aligns with the intended route of administration for subcutaneous injections, while the other choices do not.
