What is the best action to prevent tracking of the medication while the nurse prepare IM injection that is irritating to the subcutaneous tissue?

The correct answer is option D The Z track technique is the best action to prevent tracking of medication. The main aim of using this technique is because it helps seals the drug into the muscle and minimizes irritation.

The Z track technique is done by pulling the skin laterally, away from the site of injection before giving the dose. Then, the medication is injected, the needle is withdrawn carefully, and the skin is released. I hope this helps.
