Q & A
What is the purpose of performing a blood glucose test?
-The purpose of performing a blood glucose test is to determine whether a patient's blood sugar levels are within normal or abnormal ranges. It also helps monitor the effectiveness of diabetes management and whether insulin or additional medications are required.
Why is it important to monitor a patient taking steroids?
-It is important to monitor a patient taking steroids because steroids can affect blood sugar levels, leading to the need for adjustments in diabetes medication, including insulin.
What tools are required for a blood glucose test?
-The tools required for a blood glucose test include a glucometer (glucose test kit), lancets for pricking the finger, alcohol swabs for cleaning the puncture site, gloves, and hand sanitizer or running water for handwashing.
Which fingers are recommended for pricking during a blood glucose test?
-The ring finger and the middle finger are recommended for pricking during a blood glucose test, as they are less sensitive than other fingers.
What is the role of alcohol swabs in the blood glucose test procedure?
-Alcohol swabs are used to disinfect the puncture area to prevent infection and ensure cleanliness during the blood glucose test.
What should be checked before administering insulin?
-Before administering insulin, it is essential to check the appearance of the insulin (it should not have lumps), verify its expiration date, and ensure that the insulin is properly mixed by rolling it between the palms.
What areas of the body are recommended for insulin injections?
-Recommended areas for insulin injections include the upper arms, abdomen, thighs, and buttocks, ensuring there are no wounds in the selected area.
What technique is used to prepare the insulin before injection?
-Before injection, insulin should be mixed by rolling it between the palms to ensure even distribution. Additionally, priming is done by releasing a small amount of insulin from the needle to ensure it is working properly.
How should insulin dosage be determined?
-Insulin dosage is determined based on the patient's blood sugar levels. For example, a higher blood sugar level may require an increased dose, while a lower level would require a reduced dose.
What is the proper injection technique for insulin administration?
-Insulin should be injected at a 90-degree angle into the skin, and the plunger should be pressed until the dose reaches zero. The needle should be held in place for a few seconds before removal, and the injection site should not be massaged afterward to avoid affecting insulin absorption.
