How to fill out tb skin test practicum

How to fill out tb skin test practicum:

1. Make sure you have all the necessary materials for the tb skin test practicum, including the test form, tuberculin syringe, purified protein derivative (PPD) solution, and alcohol swabs.
2. Begin by thoroughly cleaning the injection site with an alcohol swab and allowing it to dry. The most common injection site for the tb skin test is the inside forearm.
3. Use the tuberculin syringe to draw up the appropriate amount of PPD solution, which is usually 0.1 mL.
4. Locate the appropriate area on the forearm for the injection, usually about 2-3 inches below the elbow. Make sure it is an area free of any rashes, cuts, or other skin conditions.
5. Hold the syringe with your dominant hand and stretch the skin at the injection site with your non-dominant hand.
6. Insert the needle of the syringe into the top layer of the skin at a slight angle, about 5-15 degrees.
7. Slowly and gently inject the PPD solution into the skin until the entire dose has been administered.
8. Carefully withdraw the needle from the skin and immediately dispose of it in a sharps container.
9. Use an alcohol swab to gently press against the injection site, applying slight pressure to help prevent any bleeding.
10. Make sure to record the information about the tb skin test in the appropriate section of the test form and provide any necessary documentation as required.
