Swelling at the location of vaccination is completely normal and nothing to worry about. The swelling should go away in about a day. If, however, the swelling increases, and you experience fever or difficulty breathing, you should contact your doctor, since this could indicate an allergic reaction to a component of the vaccine.

Vaccination is a procedure given to develop immunity. Vaccination can be active or passive; attenuated or subunits. When vaccine is give it elicits immune response which is observed as swelling.

Explain why you should not take a blood pressure in a patient who has lessened circulation in his or her arm?

Taking blood pressure is not recommended on a limb with an IV because it can cause the vein to blow, resulting in a new IV line needing to be inserted. You can take a blood pressure on an IV limb when there is no other choice but try to do it far away from the IV site. If the IV is at the wrist/hand use the upper arm, if it's at the elbow use the lower arm close to the wrist.Good Luck I hope this helps.


Is antibiotic injection given iv more painful than other why?

If you have an iv in you arm already the antibiotic will simply be mixed with the iv fluids and will cause you no extra pain. However, some strong antibiotics will hurt when they enter your bloodstream. This can be very painful and make you feel like the arm is paralysed. While the antibiotic is being injected you might not want to move your arm or torso because that will make it hurt worse. This feeling is not a pleasant one, and it is understandable to feel panic and be distressed. Rubbing the painful area helps and it will make it easier to endure the 20-30 minutes it usually takes until the iv bag is empty. This strength of antibiotic is only used in very serious cases though, and when normal antibiotics are not working. Normal antibiotics will not hurt, you won't feel them at all.
