Introduction
? Giving an injection was once the province of doctors.
? With the advent of penicillin in the 1940s it became an
extended role activity of the nurse (Beyea and Nicholl
1995).
? It is now such a routine nursing activity that nurses can
become complacent about it.
? With increasing demands upon nurses to practice
evidence- based care, it is appropriate to reappraise
such a fundamental procedure.
Magnitude of Injections - India
3 billion syringes sold across Indian markets
per year
However, 6 billion injections are used in healthcare
delivery each year in India ---- indicating a high
percentage of unsafe injections across India

? INCLEN Study in India reported the unsafe Injections as
high as 62.9%
31.6% of these injections have potential to
cause harm of blood borne infections
53.1% of these injections are due to faulty
technique
