How to fill out intravenous push medication:

1. Gather all necessary supplies, including the medication, syringe, alcohol swabs, and any other required equipment.
2. Wash your hands thoroughly before starting the process.
3. Double-check the medication order to ensure accuracy and review any specific instructions or precautions.
4. Prepare the medication by following the instructions on the packaging, such as reconstituting if necessary or withdrawing the correct amount into the syringe.
5. Clean the medication vial or ampoule with an alcohol swab before inserting the needle or withdrawing the medication. Ensure the needle is securely attached to the syringe.

8. Locate an appropriate site for the injection, generally a vein in the arm or hand. Clean the site with an alcohol swab.
