Special Circumstances
• Addressing Patient Anxiety • Emergency Response– Fainting– Needlestick– Anaphylaxis
Special Circumstances:ABCs of Addressing Patient Anxiety
• A = Assess your patient – Look for signs of anxiety (patient admits to fear or history of fainting; joking but appears nervous; pale, trembling; resisting vaccination)
• B = Be prepared and empathetic– Practice what to say & do to help nervous patients; No razzing!
• C = Comfort– Offer privacy and support; Ask supervisor/another vaccinator/ patient’s companion to assist you in supporting patient through process (hand on shoulder or hold patient’s hand); Care for behind screen
• D = Distraction– Ask patient about school, work……… Chat about trivia / Tell a joke; Ask patient to try whistling – Afterwards: Compliment patient on bravery in going through with vaccination even when nervous; Review benefits of vaccination
Special Circumstances:Emergency Response - Fainting
• Fainting:- Patient becomes pale or dizzy, especially upon rising from chair; may indicate that they are feeling “funny”
• Action: - Help person to sit back securely, and support to prevent falling OR help person to lay on the floor and elevate feet
• Notify supervisor immediately • The patient will typically recover within a few minutes, but
should not be released to leave until checked by the clinic faculty or staff supervisor.
Special Circumstances: Emergency Response – Needle Stick
• Needle Stick – injection of a used needle onto or below the skin of a person other than the individual just injected with the needle- Exposure to bloodborne pathogens is possible with any such exposure regardless of knowing the vaccinee, or the extent of exposure (volume or how deep under the skin)
• Seek assistance of supervisor immediately with any such exposure
• Next step will be to clean the area thoroughly with soap and water. Supervisor will direct further action.
Special Circumstances:Emergency Response - Anaphylaxis
• Symptoms of concern may present as rapid onset itching, skin redness, swelling/hives; sneezing, hoarseness, wheezing, increasing breathing difficulty; passing out
• Seek assistance of supervisor immediately • Epi Pen: An auto-injector used for the emergency
injection of epinephrine, medicine used for life-threatening allergic reactions- Must always be available during clinic. Supervisor will direct on use, and on triggering of 911.
