Conversation: The conversation between human and AI assistant.
[|Human|] I  think i may have accidentally pricked myself with a needle that i had just injected into a patient, Im not exactly sure if it did prick me but i am a bit paranoid. This was also my first time giving an injection so i was too scared to say anything to my instructor, also i was not able to see the patients chart to see what he may have had, what is the best thing for me to do?
[|AI|]  Tell your instructor or the head nurse on the ward. Hospitals usually have a standard procedure to follow when a person gets a needle stick. They can advise you on what to do. In the meantime, clean the area that you think was pricked and be very careful in the future. You are probably okay if you were just giving a subcutaneous or IM injection, as very little blood from the patient would have gotten into the injury. But find out what the hospital protocol is and follow that. Hope this helps.
