I know the small air bubble in pre-filled syringes like clexane should be kept for injection. However, I have seen there is a big air bubble (>0.5ml) in certain pre-filled syringes like NESP, do I need to expel the air after connecting the needle? Thanks.

Do I need to expel the air from the pre-filled plastic syringe (NESP) after connecting the needle (as I see the bubble is quite big)? Thanks a lot.

I have watched some videos about insulin injection. Some videos showed pinching the skin continuously when doing the injection while some videos showed using the hand to stabilze the needle and release the pinched skin after the needle is injected into the area. Which one is correct or both of them are fine? Thanks a lot.

To prevent Buried Bumper Syndrome, a PEG with internal retention dics should be rotated 360 degree and in/out. But how about the balloon type PEG tube? (as Buried Bumper Syndrome rarely occurs for those balloon type?) The water content in balloon should be checked weekly. Should "new" water be injected after checking or just re-injecting the "old" water is okay? THX

What is rhabdomyositis? What is the nursing care for a patient with rhabdomyositis? THX:loveya:

He cannot poke his tongue out, but move his leg upwards when I applied painful stimulus on his finger (his arms cannot move too). A nurse said it was "localized to pain", but I was confused.

I am confused about the Glasgow Coma scale. I have encountered 2 patients after acute stroke. They were both conscious. Patient A His eyes were open and looking at me. When I asked him where & who he was, he tried to speak and show some mouth movement but was unable to produce any sounds. What should his scores be for verbal response? Patient B His eyes were also open and looking at me. When I asked him to protrude his tongue, he was unable to do so. Then, I applied some painful stimulus to his finger. His arms seem paralytic and was unable to show any movement (and not in flexion & extension), but his legs moved upward. What should his scores be for motor response? Thanks a lot:yeah:
