Licensed nurses are responsible by law to provide care at accepted standards.
These standards are typically spelled out in Nurse Practice Acts and by Professional Nursing Organizations . In this case, a nurse testified that the intramuscular injection administered by a physician fell below accepted standards. As part of a patient's treatment, a physician gave an injection of Phenergan intramuscularly . It would later be claimed by the patient that an injury was sustained because of the injection. The duration of action is generally from four to six hours.
