Answer
# Brief Explanations:
When administering an intramuscular (IM) injection via the standard method, aspiration for blood is done to ensure the needle is not in a blood - vessel. Recapping the needle is a safety hazard due to risk of needlestick injury. Massaging the injection site may not be appropriate for all medications. A dart - like motion is more for subcutaneous injections.
# Answer:
Aspirate for blood.
