What Are Some Pain Management Strategies Post-Injection?
Post-injection pain management is essential to enhance patient comfort and satisfaction. Nurses can recommend the following strategies: - Over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen. - Topical anesthetics or numbing creams. - Gentle massage around the injection site to improve circulation and reduce discomfort. - Encouraging the patient to move the limb where the injection was given to prevent stiffness and promote blood flow.
