Advantages of intramuscular (IM) or subcutaneous (SC) routes of injection are debated. For years, nurses have administered injections to their patients based on the directions and recommendations of the drug manufacturers. Are the recommendations provided by the manufacturers really the best, or do they simply continue the methods used in clinical trials? Is a treatment--this drug, this dose, this route of administration--the ideal one for this patient? Nurses must always ask these questions as they provide patient care and act as the patient advocate to the rest of the health care team.
肌肉注射（IM）或皮下注射（SC）途径的优势存在争议。多年来，护士一直根据药品制造商的指示和建议为患者进行注射。制造商提供的建议真的是最佳选择吗？还是仅仅延续了临床试验中使用的方法？这种治疗——这种药物、这种剂量、这种给药途径——对该患者来说是理想的吗？护士在提供患者护理并作为患者代言人向其他医疗团队成员传达时，必须始终问这些问题。
