- 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.

Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The nurse should rotate the injection sites to minimize the damage caused to the tissue.

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.
