Laila,
When administering shots to me at home, the visiting nurse(s) would 1. Explain what and why I was to have buttocks injections. 2. The anticipated amount of tenderness/soreness I'd experience based on the medication to be given, the needle length and gauge. 3. The number of injections I required, how they would be divided between alternate buttocks if necessary. 4. If I were to (and I've had this done) receive simultaneously administered injections (2 per buttocks at the same time), I'd be informed. 5. After the injections, very moist, very warm towels would be laid across the injection sites to help alleviate any immediate soreness brought on by the insertion of the needles. 6. They would remain with me for about an hour to see if I was experiencing any negative reactions, which if I complained of, would necessitate the taking of my vital signs, most particularly, the taking of my rectal temperature to determine if the injection(s) started my temperature to rise.
