WELCOME TO THE ONLINE HOME OF TOWN OF KENANSVILLE. Kenansville, county seat of Duplin County, is a peaceful small town rich in history and proud of its heritage. Kenansville is located in the fertile Coastal Plains of southeastern NC. Settled in 1735 by immigrants from Northern Ireland, these early pioneers called their town Golden Grove.
A subcutaneous injection is administered as a bolus into the subcutis, the layer of skin directly below the dermis and epidermis, collectively referred to as the cutis. Subcutaneous injections are highly effective in administering vaccines and medications such as insulin, morphine, diacetylmorphine and goserelin.
This method of drug or fluid delivery reduces the risk of infection at the injection site and eliminates concerns about air emboli in the blood vessels. There are a number of subcutaneous infusion sites on the body which can be rotated to keep a patient more comfortable if long term therapy is being used. Patients and caregivers should be aware that some medications can cause skin irritation when they are infused subcutaneously.
