A S.C. injection is given ____.

  1. Into the spinal cord

  2. Ear canal

  3. Under the skin

  4. Into the stomach

The correct answer is: Under the skin

A S.C. injection, also known as a subcutaneous injection, is given under the skin. Injecting into the spinal cord, ear canal, or stomach would not be considered a subcutaneous injection and could potentially cause harm. It is important to always read and follow injection instructions carefully to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the medication.
