- A. Insert the needle at the appropriate angle.
- B. Select the needle length based on the patient's weight.
- C. Ensure that there is no hair on the injection site.
- D. Rotate the injection site regularly.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The nurse should rotate the injection sites to minimize the damage caused to the tissue. Inserting the needle at the proper angle and selecting the needle length based on the patient's weight will not significantly help in minimizing tissue damage if the same site is repeatedly injected. It is not necessary to avoid injection sites that have hair as long as the drug is administered in the upper arms, the upper abdomen, and the upper back.
