Unit 3 Assignment 1 Ml Syringes

Every day a registered nurse with specialized training in peripherally inserted central catheter insert this device into a patient’s vein every day. There are various reasons why a patient might need this catheter. It aids in transferring nutrients, medications such as antibiotics into the body. Patients who have continuous blood draws benefit from this catheter. It is an easier access and minimal needle sticks to the patient. Patients who entail for this catheter are cancer, critical care or nutritional impaired patients. Peripherally inserted central catheters are commonly referred to as PICC lines. It is a slim and hollow tubing that is placed in an area anterior above the elbow. Once inserted the goal is to thread the line through

A, In order to administer this medicine type a spoon,syringe or a measurable medicine potare required. these are used to contain and /or measure the medication for transfer into the mouth.

b. syringe size- depends on how much medication is to be given. You would need a 5ml syringe for 0.7ml of medication. Also insulin can only be given in an insulin syringe because it is measured in units instead

Although infection control is vital in patient care, another important safety measure includes using the best available products to the facility. The use of optimal catheter care products is important when providing the best care to the pediatric population. Antibiotic or ethanol locks provide a decreased risk of infection, as opposed to the traditional locks found in use in some facilities.

The major issue in the case “Becton Dickinson and needle sticks’ is the brand of syringes hospitals are using. These

A is antisepsis of the skin, the skin could have microorganisms on them that can travel with the needle in to a patient’s blood stream. The use of alcohol wipes, chlorhexidine are the important to use before the needle breaks the skin barrier. Rubbing the site where the IV will be placed and letting it fully dry is the best way to keep infection out of the patient.

Central lines and peripherally inserted central catheter are tubes inserted in a patient’s vein. They are required to help the patient get medication and nutrition. There are so many articles about these tubes, what they are, how to put them, and how to care about them. To achieve the aim of these tubes without complications, the people with them should know about them and know how to care for them, what is not normal about them, what to do in case of complications, and when to call their healthcare provider. In this paper the safety, teaching and care about the central and peripherally inserted central catheter will be discussed.

Safe injection practices are measures taken to perform injections in a safe manner for patients and providers (Perz, Thompson, Schaefer, & Patel, 2010). Transmission of blood borne viruses or other life-threatening bacterial infections from contaminated injections are examples of unacceptable events in healthcare delivery. The basic principles of practice, as outlined by CDC under Standard Precautions, include the following:

Although sterilizing instruments for procedures is an effective way to reduce the risk of contamination, not all instruments are able to endure the level of heat with this process. Many endoscopes, for example, are flexible to allow for the ease of movement in the body and are not made of sturdy material, but delicate ones. The heat used in sterilization could potentially damage the instrument creating a vehicle for bacteria to enter the body. Some delicate pieces could be destroyed and manipulated and introduce bacteria during a procedure, jeopardizing the health of a person. Catheters, especially indwelling ones, must be sterile to ensure the prevention of the introduction of bacteria to a patient/person. Made of

In spite of the pronounced benefits that this technique has brought into health care, it has been associated with the risk of infections in the bloodstream that results from the microorganisms inhabiting the outer surface of the device or alternatively such microbes colonizing the fluid pathway during insertion of the device or while it is in use. As per Marschall et al. (2014), central venous catheters have been described to be the most frequent cause of health care-associated contagions in the bloodstream. Consequently, there has been increasing recognition to the fact that central venous catheters associated infections, as well as other health care-associated infections are preventable provided the described evidence-based practices

Patients who are expected to have long hospital stays and extensive IV therapy are likely to receive a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC). PICC lines have been found to be a relatively safe and cost effective route to administer long term intravenous (IV) medications such as antibiotics, chemotherapy and total parenteral nutrition (TPN). These devices are most often inserted at the patient’s bedside by nurses who have received advanced training in the placement of PICC lines. Evidence based practice for sterile technique during insertion has been established and as a result, infection rates remain relatively low. There is one going debate, however, as to the safety of these catheters in patients who are at an increased risk

The study determined the most common factors among those sampled to be: an overwhelming majority of male patients (98%), most seeking long-term use for antibiotic treatment (52%) or for venous access (21%), 85% were placed by vascular access nurses within the basilic vein of the right arm (Chopra et al., 2014). Single-lumen PICC devices (48%) were the most commonly used, many placed within medical or surgical units (18%) and remained for a median length of time of 21 days (Chopra et al., 2014). Over a total of 1156 catheter days, 966 PICCs were analyzed, 58 PICCs (6%) acquired CLABSIs. The most common infectious organism was determined to

solutions containing approximately 100 International Units per mL are frequently used (Inc, 2015). Thrombin-JMI is available as 5,000 IU vial with 5mL diluent and 20,000 IU vial with 20mL diluent, as a pump spray kit as 20,000 IU vial with 20mL diluent with spray pump and actuator, as a syringe spray kit as 5,000 IU vial with 5mL diluent including spray tip and syringe and 20,000 IU vial with 20mL diluent including spray tip and syringe, as and Epistaxis kit as 5,000 IU vial with 5mL diluent and nasal delivery device and

If okay with Randy, can the morphine sulfate 10mg/ml be removed from the PACU Omnicell and replaced with morphine 2mg/ml syringes in order to avoid wasted and for patients’ safety. Although rarely used, the Nurses have to dilute the 10mg in 5 ml normal saline prior to administration to Comer patients.
