    There was no explanation of the procedure or its purpose. The RN probably thinks the doctor has explained it, etc. It wouldn't hurt for the RN to say 1) how are you today? (to see if there's anxiety in the client's mind they they can address) and 2) do you know the purpose of this injection (which could be explained in less than 30 seconds). My guess is their are so harried that they don't feel they have time for talk.
