3. *Clean and prepare the site*: Clean the area with an antiseptic solution and allow it to dry.
4. *Insert the needle*: Hold the needle at a 20-30° angle and insert it into the vein.
5. *Verify needle placement*: Check for blood return to ensure the needle is in the vein.
6. *Administer the medication*: Slowly inject the medication into the vein.
7. *Remove the needle*: Withdraw the needle and apply pressure to the site.

Sterilization Method
1. *Autoclaving*: Use high-pressure steam to sterilize equipment.
2. *Dry heat sterilization*: Use hot air to sterilize equipment.
3. *Chemical sterilization*: Use disinfectants or sterilants to kill microorganisms.
4. *Filtration*: Use filters to remove microorganisms from liquids.

2. *Use of personal protective equipment (PPE)*: Wear gloves, masks, and eye protection as needed.
3. *Proper disposal of sharps*: Dispose of needles and other sharps in a designated container.
