movement<\/li>\n\n<li>After Injection: Cover injection site, dispose syringe in sharps box, avoid bending needle, record injection<\/li>\n\n<li>Waste management and healthcare staff safety: using Sharps Containers, full staff training, prevention of needle\u2011stick injuries, and adherence to biohazard waste protocols.<\/li><\/ul><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> Before Injection<\/h4><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Expiration date check: Always verify the expiration date printed on the syringe packaging.<\/li>\n\n<li>Ensuring sterile packaging: The packaging must not be opened or damaged.<\/li>\n\n<li>Handwashing and wearing gloves: This helps prevent contamination.<\/li>\n\n<li>Choosing the appropriate syringe size: The size must match the type of medication and injection site.<\/li>\n\n<li>Medication preparation: The medication must be prepared under sterile conditions and protected from environmental contamination.<\/li><\/ul><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">During Injection<\/h4><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>No touching the needle: The needle must not come into contact with the hand or any non\u2011sterile surface.<\/li>\n\n<li>Correct injection angle: Depending on the medication, the injection may be subcutaneous (Subcutaneous), intramuscular (Intramuscular), or intravenous (Intravenous).<\/li>\n\n<li>Smooth plunger movement: The injection must be performed with even pressure so the patient feels less pain.<\/li>\n\n<li>No reuse: Each syringe must be used only once.<\/li>\n\n<li>Air bubble control: Air bubbles must be removed from the syringe before injection to reduce the risk of embolism.<\/li><\/ul><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">After Injection:<\/h4><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Covering the injection site: With sterile cotton or bandage to prevent bleeding and infection.<\/li>\n\n<li>Not bending or breaking the needle: This increases the risk of injury and contamination.<\/li>\n\n<li>Immediate syringe disposal: The syringe must be placed immediately after use into the designated container (Sharps Container).<\/li>\n\n<li>Injection documentation: The medication type, dose, and injection time must be recorded in the patient\u2019s file.<\/li><\/ul><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> \u0645\u062f\u06cc\u0631\u06cc\u062a \u067e\u0633\u0645\u0627\u0646\u062f \u067e\u0632\u0634\u06a9\u06cc<\/h4><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Use of standard safety box: Puncture\u2011resistant containers for collecting syringes.<\/li>\n\n<li>Replacing the safety box at the right time: It must be replaced when three\u2011quarters full.<\/li>\n\n<li>No disposal in household waste: Syringes must be disposed of through the medical waste management system.<\/li>\n\n<li>Safe waste transport: Safety boxes must be transported to medical waste disposal centers.<\/li><\/ul><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> \u0646\u06a9\u0627\u062a \u0627\u06cc\u0645\u0646\u06cc \u0628\u0631\u0627\u06cc \u06a9\u0627\u062f\u0631

situations.<\/li>\n\n<li>Incident reporting: In case of needle\u2011related injury, it must be reported immediately and medical action taken.<\/li><\/ul><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> Summary Table
