Safe Needle Injection Practices

Safe needle injection practices involve correctly selecting, handling, and disposing of needles and syringes to prevent infections and injuries. This includes washing hands beforehand, using sterile equipment, and avoiding touching needle tips or parts that contact the patient’s body. The needle should be inserted using the proper technique, and no reusing needles or syringes is allowed. After use, needles should be carefully disposed of in designated sharps containers to prevent needlestick injuries. These practices ensure the safety of both healthcare providers and patients by reducing the risk of transmitting infections.
