Question | Answer |
---|---|
med calculation formula: | ordered / on hand X quantity = desired |
TB syringe = ?mL | TB syringe = 1mL |
Standard syringe = ?mL | Standard syringe = 3mL |
Standard syringe for what min/max amounts? | Standard syringe (3mL) >0.5 - 2.5mL |
Large volume syringe = ?mL | Large volume syringe = 5mL |
TB syringe for what amounts? | TB syringe for <1.5mL |
Large volume syringe for what amounts? | Large volume syringe (5mL) >2.5 + |
SubQ sites = | -abdomen -upper hips -upper back -lateral upper arms -lateral thighs |
IM sites = | -ventrogluteal -deltoid -vastus lateralus (-dorsogluteal) |
ID sites = | -ventral midforearm -clavicular area of chest -scapular of back |
ID syringe & needle = | ID = 1mL syringe 25-27 gauge / 3/8-5/8" needle |
ID angle of injection = | ID angle = 10-15 |
SubQ syringe & needle = | SubQ = 1 - 3mL syringe 25-27 gauge, 1/2 - 5/8" |
SubQ procedure = | -pt ID & allergies? -cleanse / pinch -insert @ 45-90 angle -release & inject -remove / apply gentle pressure |
IM procedure = | -pt ID & allergies? -cleanse / flatten area -dart / stabilize -ASPIRATE / inject -remove / apply gentle pressure |
IM syringe & needle = | IM 1-3mL 20-25 gauge, 1-1.5" needle (18 gauge for blood products) |
injectable volume ventrogluteal? | ventrogluteal = 1-3mL |
(injectable volume dorsogluteal?) | (dorsogluteal = 1-3mL) |
injectable volume deltoid? | deltoid = 0.5-1mL |
injectable volume vastus lateralus? | vastus lateralus = 1-2mL |
