PRESCRIPTION AUDITING & DRUG VERIFICATION: Verification of medical prescription following the six rights of medication safety: right patient, drug, dose, route, time, and documentation before breaking any seal.

ANATOMICAL SITE SELECTION & PREPARATION: Clinical identification of optimal administration sites—deltoid, dorsogluteal, ventrogluteal, or vastus lateralis for intramuscular (IM); abdomen, upper outer arm, or anterior thigh for subcutaneous (SC)—with anatomical rotation to avoid lipohypertrophy or tissue fibrosis.

ASEPTIC INJECTION TECHNIQUE: Sterile preparation and administration utilizing single-use medical syringes, appropriate needle gauges (21G–23G for IM deep tissue; 27G–31G for SC tissue), and 70% isopropyl alcohol skin antisepsis with adequate drying time.

PRE & POST-PROCEDURE VITAL MONITORING: Assessment of baseline blood pressure, pulse, and oxygen saturation, followed by a mandatory 15-minute observation period to detect localized wheals, erythema, vasovagal episodes, or systemic adverse reactions.

CLINICAL WASTE SEGREGATION & DISPOSAL: Safe containment and immediate segregation of sharps using puncture-proof containers, with compliant disposal of cotton swabs and packaging per biomedical waste handling guidelines.
