How to fill out tuberculosis skin test tuberculin

How to fill out a tuberculosis skin test tuberculin:

1. Gather the necessary materials: You will need a small tuberculin syringe, a vial of tuberculin solution, an alcohol swab, and a ruler or measuring tape.
2. Prepare the injection site: Clean the inner forearm with an alcohol swab and let it dry completely. This helps prevent infection.
3. Draw the tuberculin solution: Remove the cap from the vial of tuberculin solution. Insert the needle of the syringe into the vial and withdraw the appropriate amount of solution. The amount required will depend on the specific test being administered.
4. Administer the test: Hold the syringe with the needle pointing upward and carefully push any trapped air bubbles out. Gently pinch the skin on the forearm to create a small mound. Insert the needle into the top layer of the skin at a shallow angle, so that the needle is just under the surface. Slowly inject the tuberculin solution into the skin.
5. Record the injection site and date: Use a pen or marker to mark the injection site with a single dot, usually just below the injection site, and write down the date on which the test was administered. This will help you remember when to come back for the test to be read.
6. Dispose of the materials safely: Place the used syringe and needle in a sharps container to prevent accidental injury or infection. Dispose of any remaining tuberculin solution according to local guidelines.
