    Thanx a lot, please can you help me with that question
    Needle size is determined by a) gauge and length. b) the size of the barrel. c) its ability to filter. d) the volume of fluid it can draw up.

    • @NurseErica
      @NurseErica  2 года назад +1

      The answer is a. I hope this was clear in the video. The needle size is determined by length and diameter (guage)

    If the detoid muscle is less. What should i do?? If the needle reach into the bone

    • @NurseErica

      You should not go past the muscle. The entire needle does not need to be inserted. You can choose a shorter needle or don't go in all the way. Hitting the bone hurts.

    Interesting. Why don’t you aspirate when you do IM injection? I thought you have to make sure that the medication doesn’t get into your blood vessel which can be very dangerous.

      That is no longer in practice, for many years now. It was found to cause more pain.

    Hi the video skipped where you withdrew med from vial. Did you put in air? Why skipped

    • @NurseErica
      @NurseErica  3 года назад

      I think I tried to edit it to make it more up to date. According to the book and many manufacturers, you only have to withdraw air when using a multidose vial.
