   Needle difficult to insert in injection site

   Brian Fields posted a topic in General Nursing

   I work in psych nursing and I encounter a patient whose deltoid muscles are very dense and fibrous. This patient has been getting IM psychotropic meds for many years and refuses to switch to the gluteal IM sites. Is this from years of IM injections?
