Question Posted Wednesday June 13 2007, 11:37 pm
Hi. Your mom's a nurse, that's what you said for an answer. So, i was wondering if you could ask her something, and tell me then answer. If you could, that'd be awesome!
During a physical, when they give you a blood test, where do they normally give it? If it's near the wrist....do they poke the needle into the veins..and if they do poke the needle into the veins wouldn't the veins burst?? And wouldn't it hurt?
--> Can a blood test be done anywhere else besides the wrist during a physical? Like...on the shoulder where shots are normally given?
---> Do blood tests hurt? I had 5 vaccines a couple weeks ago since i am going on vacation..and they didn't hurt that much. People say blood tests hurt LESS than vaccines..Is that true? Because the vaccines barely hurt...and if it hurts less..than they would BARELY hurt.
Please ask your mom. Thanks soo much . I will rate 5 if you answer all. And..make sure she answers ALL. Thanks soo much <3. Be honest.
When they take a blood test they usually do it on the inside of your elbow (is that what you mean by wrist?). What they do to take your blood is tie a rubber band around your upper arm to cut off circulation and find good viens. Your veins dont pop because they just don't. Im not like making that up or anything, my mom just said they just dont. The needle is like inserted into your vain to take blood out. The only other way to take blood is to get your finger pricked, but its bettter to get your arm,because when you get your finger pricked, its just little samples of blood. So depending on how much blood they need , is what they'll do. and it hurts less.
All nurses say blood tests dont hurt.and to be honest, they really dont. As long as you have a good nurse that doesnt just shove the needle in there. My mom always does mine because everyone say shes really good. It doesnt hurt at all ,just when the needle goes in , and its like noting at all. And im a huge baby with pain.
i hope i answered everything you were looking for . If you have any other questionss please ask!! thankss ! :]
Yes and blood tests do hurt less than vacines, because where they take blood is a common spot , but where they do vacins on the shoulder is senstive adn there inserting medicine . you know ? and if the vaccines barely hurt for you, it means you can tolerate pain, so taking blood is like nothing, for you!
