4 Identifying Labels, Syringes, and Intravenous Bags

47

Nurses and allied health professionals who administer medications must be able to identify the information on medication labels, syringes, and intrave-nous solution bags accurately and precisely. To ensure the safety of clients, this is an important skill to master before administering medication.

This chapter reviews the techniques necessary to read labels, syringes, and intravenous bags competently. Specifically, it is designed to assist you in learning how to:

Read medication labels to obtain pertinent information and identify various intravenous solutions.

Read a syringe.

Select the correct size needle and syringe.

Reconstitute powdered medications.

Add medication to an intravenous bag of fluid.

Draw up two types of insulin in the same syringe.

This chapter also presents examples of medication labels and intravenous labels, as well as types and sizes of syringes and needles.

4 Identifying Labels, Syringes, and Intravenous Bags

Introduction

Reading Medication Labels

The brand name of a medication (also known as the trade or proprietary name) is usually written in big letters on the medication label. The brand name is typically assigned by the manufacturer of the medication and has a registered mark () attached to it. The generic name of a medication may be written in smaller letters, placed in parentheses, or written in italics. The generic name must be included on the label to enable the filling pharmacist to dispense the generic versions as substitutes for the brand-name drugs. A brand medication is often filled with generic substitutions unless the ordering physician checks off or writes dispense as written. See Figure 4-1.

Reading Injection Syringes 61


Reading Injection Syringes

Reading injection syringes is relatively simple once you know what to look for. The following illustrations are examples of injection syringes with their vari-ous parts labeled. See Figure 4-6.

The plunger is inside the barrel and is used to push the medication out of the syringe into tissue.

The barrel is what holds the solution.

The tip is where the needle attaches.

Insulin syringes are typically standardized to measure units. The customary cali-bration is 100 units (U) per 1 milliliter (ml). In other words, 1 milliliter equates to 100 units of insulin. The syringe in Figure 4-7 is a U100 insulin syringe.

Remember that a minim is a measurement of weight that is equivalent to a drop and is abbreviated as m. The meter is a measurement of length that is equal to 39.37 inches and abbreviated as m or M.


A tuberculin syringe is calibrated in minims (m) and milliliters. Remember that 16 minims are equal to 1 milliliter of fluid. See Figure 4-8.

Selecting the Correct Size Needle and Syringe

Use the smallest syringe possible when giving injections. Adequate sizes are1-milliliter syringes for subcutaneous injections.

3-milliliter syringes for intramuscular injections.

The ventrogluteal site is the preferred site for most injections for the adult client. The vastus lateralis is commonly used in small children and infants. The deltoid muscle is easily accessible but can be underdeveloped in many adults and is seldom used in pediatrics (Potter & Perry, 2005, p. 888). See Figure 4-10.

Reconstituting Powdered Medication 67

Sometimes the nurse has to reconstitute a powdered medication for intramus-cular or intravenous administration. In such cases, always follow the label directions to achieve the correct dosage-to-solute ratio. See Figure 4-14.

Injectable syringes have many new safety features such as the safety sheath, which allows the nurse to cover the used needle safely and not run the risk of a fingerstick. Safety syringes come in most sizes. See Figure 4-13.

Never recap used nonsafety syringes. Always discard the used syringes in appro-priate disposal containers.


Reconstituting Powdered Medication

When reconstituting a powdered medication, add the exact amount of diluting solution according to the label and then mix the solution by rolling the vial in the palms of the hands.

Drawing Up Two Types of Insulin in the Same Syringe 69

Also, when mixing two insulin solutions, follow these steps in the order shown:

1. Inject air into the air space in a vial of long-acting insulin.

2. Inject air into the air space of a vial of short-acting insulin.

2. Insert needle into the center of the injection port and inject medication. Remove needle and dispose of properly. Rotate the intravenous bag gently to mix medication and affix completed medication label.

Drawing Up Two Types of Insulin in the Same Syringe

Insulin is a very fragile medication and can be easily destroyed with rough han-dling. So it is recommended that (see Figure 4-15):When you are warming cool insulin, gently roll the vial in the palms of the hands; do not shake it.

When placing air into an insulin vial, inject the air into air, not into the solution.

Figure 4-15 Roll the vial gently between the hands to warm the solution.

DIDONA_CH04.indd 69 2/19/2009 11:38:12 PM



3. Draw up the short-acting insulin.

4. Draw up the long-acting insulin.

The reason for this safety practice is to avoid harmful spillage of insulin from one vial to the other. If a minute amount of short-acting insulin happens to spill into the long-acting insulin, the action of the long-acting insulin remains relatively unchanged. Conversely, if a minute amount of long-acting insulin spills into the short-acting insulin, the action of the short-acting insulin could be dangerously altered.
