Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The physician ordered subcutaneous injection, which means that the medication should be injected into the layer of tissue that lies below the dermis and above the muscle. This is a common method of administering medication and is often used for medications that need to be absorbed slowly over time. A percutaneous injection is one that is administered through the skin, but does not necessarily reach the subcutaneous layer. Scleroderma is a skin condition that causes hardening and thickening of the skin, and has no relevance to this situation. Epidermal injection is not a recognized medical term, but may refer to injections into the epidermis, which is the outermost layer of the skin. This is not an appropriate route of administration for most medications.
