Withdraw Needle: Withdraw the needle at the same angle as insertion and immediately apply gentle pressure with a gauze pad. 📋 Post-Administration: Dispose of Needle: Safely dispose of the needle in a sharps container. Document: Record the administration details, including the medication, dose, site, and patient response.
