- 1An atraumatic injection has two components: ?1. Technical aspect
2. Communicative aspect - 2Sharpness of a needle wears between use and needs to be replaces after how many uses?3-4 injections
- 3To prevent vasodepressor syncope (fainting), the client should be seated in "what kind of" positionClient should be placed in supine position: heart and head parallel to the floor (HOWEVER, check patient preference)
- 4When preparing to dry the tissue, what areas need to be dried effectively?1. The target area of injection
2. The lip for retraction (increase visibility) - 5Ideally, how long should topical anesthetic remain in contact with tissue to ensure effectiveness?2 minutes; minimum 1 minute
- 6To maintain the patient's comfortability, instead of saying "I will give you an injection" what else can you say?"I will administer the Local Anesthetic"
- 7Identify the two technique that should be AVOIDED during an injection (WHY)1. Using no syringe stabilization (Unsteady)
2. Placing the arm holding the syringe on client's arm or shoulder (Risk of client movement and accidental puncture within mouth or to practitioner) - 8Explain the importance of making the target tissue "taut"To both increase visibility of target area, provide a more atraumatic experience for the client and to decrease post-operative soreness
- 9What three simple components to an injection help to have it practically unnoticeable 100% of the time?1. Proper application of topical anesthetic
2. Taut tissue
3. A firm hand rest - 10Before injecting into the mucosa, the bevel should be at WHAT o'clock? (or towards...?)It should be at 6 o'clock or towards bone
- 11During the initial injection, what are two things to look for if your patient is in pain?1. brow or forehead furrowing
2. blinking - 12What is the difference between a + aspiration to a - aspiration?+ means you are intravascular (CANNOT apply LA)
- means you are in the target area for anesthesia (CAN apply LA) - 13When recording the injection on the patient's chart, what should be included? (5)1. vasoconstrictor (if any)
2. dose (mg)
3. needle used (25, 27, 30)
