Question: 1 / 400

Subcutaneous injections deliver the medication:

below the first layer of muscle

Subcutaneous injections deliver medication below the first layer of muscle, which is called the subcutaneous layer. This layer lies just beneath the skin and is composed of fat and connective tissue. The other options are incorrect because they do not involve the subcutaneous layer. B and C both involve administering the medication into the muscle or between the skin and muscle, while D involves administering under the tongue and does not involve the subcutaneous layer at all. It is important to follow the specific instructions for medication administration to ensure its effectiveness.
