My textbook says either 45 degrees or 90 degrees. I think you have to make that judgement depending on the amount of subcutaneous tissue your patient has. The book also says to lightly pinch the tissue. If you can pinch 2 inches, go in at 90 degrees. If you can only get about an inch, go in at 45 degrees. I have only given shots to mannequins so far lol, but this logic makes sense to me.

P.S. It is now 1:23 pm here and I have not eaten yet. smh

I am loosing weight which is not a good thing b/c im barely 115 lbs and am not my optimal weight. On a good day, I may get two small meals from the school's cafeteria. Most days I get one meal and spend the rest of the day snacking on either fresh fruits that I swiped from the cafeteria, fruit and grain bars, oatmeal, ramen noodles, or the occasional tv dinner while studying in my room. When I am really stressed, I forget to eat :-O. Don't have the money to visit fast food restaurants, even for the dollar menu lol. I'm not a stress eater, but I LOVE to snack.
