The nurse giving iron dextran IM will use the Z-track method because this method (select all that apply):
1. makes the injection less painful.
2. prevents staining of the skin.
3. prevents postinjection pain.
4. allows another injection to be given at the same location.
5. cleans the needle on withdrawal.
3
All the Z-track method ensures is that there will be no iron staining the skin after injection. The amount of pain is the same and, after all IM injections, the needle is cleaned on with-drawal. Injections are never given at recent injection sites.
