Which among the following demonstrates a proper intradermal injection to a client?
a) Minimal leaking
b) No swelling
c) Tissue pallor
d) Evidence of a bleb or wheal
Answer D: Evidence of a bleb or wheal
A properly administered intradermal injection shows evidence of a bleb or wheal at the injection site. There should be no leaking of medication from the bleb; it needs to be absorbed into the tissue. Lack of swelling at the injection site means that the injection was given too deeply. The presence of tissue pallor does not indicate that the injection was given correctly.
