    The first important thing to do is to clean out the wound as thoroughly as possible because it is essential for preventing the growth of tetanus spores. Cleaning the wound includes washing it with clean water and soap, trying to get out the dirt, foreign objects and dead tissue from it.

    IM using different syringes at different sites.

    Explanation:

    Tetanus is a neurological disease which is characterized by the occurrence of spasms in the muscle. Tetanus can be caused if initial care does not take place after the wound occurs and therefore, it is very important to immediately take care of the wound. To treat the wound tetanus immunoglobulin and tetanus toxoids are given to the person, however, it is necessary to give the two injections using different syringes and at different sites, because the immunoglobulin can cause neutralization fo the toxoid.
