1. First, gather all the necessary equipment, including a syringe with a 1-millimeter needle, a vial of purified protein derivative (PPD), an alcohol swab, a ruler, and a pen.
2. Clean the inner side of the forearm with an alcohol swab and let it air dry.
3. Take the PPD vial and gently mix the contents to ensure the solution is evenly distributed.
4. Using the syringe, draw up exactly 0.1 milliliters (mL) of the PPD solution.
5. Identify the exact point on the forearm where the injection will be administered, typically about 2-3 inches below the elbow crease.
6. With the pen, lightly mark the point of injection on the skin.
7. Hold the ruler firmly against the forearm, aligning the 0 mark with the pen mark indicating the injection site.
8. Pick up the syringe and insert the needle at a 5-15-degree angle into the skin, with the bevel of the needle facing upwards.
9. Slowly inject the entire 0.1 mL of PPD solution just below the skin's surface, forming a small bleb or bubble.
10. Once the injection is complete, carefully remove the needle and dispose of it in an appropriate sharps container.
