I reviewed a chart note in which the nurse documented that the patient administered his own IM injection under the direction of the LPN (who directed the patient on good aseptic technique, safety rules, and understanding the principles of giving intramuscular injections in the patient's thigh.)

Since the medication was provided by the clinic but the patient administered the IM injection under the direction of the LPN, what codes can be submitted?:confused:
