How to fill out diabetic glucagon injection kit

How to fill out a diabetic glucagon injection kit:

1. Gather all the necessary supplies and make sure they are readily accessible. This includes a glucagon vial, a syringe, an alcohol swab, and an appropriate needle.
2. Before handling any supplies, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water to reduce the risk of infection.
3. Carefully remove the cap from the glucagon vial and wipe the rubber top of the vial with an alcohol swab to disinfect it.
4. Take the syringe and remove the needle cover. Insert the needle into the vial through the rubber top and inject air into the vial. This will balance out the pressure and make it easier to draw out the medication.
5. Turn the vial and syringe upside down, ensuring that the needle tip is submerged in the medication. Slowly pull back on the plunger to draw out the prescribed dose of glucagon. Be cautious while withdrawing the medication to minimize air bubbles.
6. Once the desired amount has been drawn, carefully remove the syringe from the vial and recap the needle. Ensure proper disposal of the needle in a designated sharps container.
7. Make sure the injection site is clean and dry. Common injection sites are the thigh or upper arm. Gently clean the area with an alcohol swab and allow it to dry.
8. Prepare the person who will receive the glucagon injection. If the individual is unconscious or unresponsive, it's crucial to seek immediate medical assistance. If the person is responsive, explain what you are about to do and reassure them.
9. Take the syringe with the glucagon and remove the needle cover. Hold the syringe with a firm grip and insert the needle into the injection site at a 90-degree angle. Quickly but gently push the plunger all the way down to ensure the medication is fully injected.
10. After the injection, carefully remove the needle from the skin, using a swift motion. Apply gentle pressure to the injection site with a clean tissue or cotton ball to minimize bleeding.
