Needles should never be left lying around after use. (SOURCE: Saunders Q & A review for NCLEX-RN 2nd ed. P. 28)…

    Health and Safety P1

    Sharps- In a hospital health and social care setting needles are frequently being used in lots of different places and lots of them are actually used. It’s important to have a place where these used needles can be stored which is why now after a needle has been used it’s put into a ‘sharps box’. If all the sharps are kept in the box then it reduced the possible harm to service providers and users such as if a person was to come into contact with a used needle they could hurt themselves because it would be a short sharp pain as the needle penetrates the skin. If this was to happen then the person who has been pricked is at high risk of contracting diseases such as HIV/Aids and hepatitis B or C which could lead to a possible death. Hepatitis B can cause damage to the liver and like the other listed diseases there isn’t any cure, only painkillers can be prescribed to relieve symptoms.…

The fear of needles, or trypanophobia, is especially prevalent in children, and easily manifests itself into adulthood (Good, 2011). The most common cause, is traumatic experience from repetitive contact with needles and other hypodermic devices. For example, children with diabetes get daily pinpricks in the finger to test their sugar levels. This repeated testing is a well-known catalyst for trypanophobia in younger people (Yoon et al.,…
