  1. Worried about possible needlestick

    curious1nurse posted a topic in General Nursing
    ? Needle stuck? Thursday I noticed around past noon that top of the left mid finger just above the nail was reddened, little swollen, small area that looked like area may have been stucked with small needle. Don't remember particularly having accidental needle prick, don't remember bleeding. I always wear gloves when giving meds and I always wash wash my hands after giving SQ meds. Pt's given shots in AM: insulin - hx HIV+ on meds Cd4 400+ lovenox - hx dementia lovenox - hx pancreatitis heparin -hx afib I did not report incident as I was not sure if I actually had a needlestick injury. But I am now worried. What if it was from the needle that I gave insulin SQ to the pt who is HIV positive? I hope to hear your thoughts about this.
