Nursing questions

Mrs. Kelly tells the nurse that her arm is sore from an injection she received early in the day . she states “ the nurse gave me a shot , and I heard her say that the needle was a 25 gauge . 

isn’t that too big for a local injection ?

 your best response would be:

• a 25 gauge needle is a small needle , but it can cause som discomfort . let me see your arm.”
• really, Mrs. Kelly, no once gets hurts with a 25 gauge needle . you are over –reacting to the shot “
• a 25 gauge needle is very small . you are just nervous about the injection.”
• a 25 gauge needle is very small. So you are wrong about the pain from the injection.”
