NOTE: The best veins for venipuncture, listed by order of preference, are as follows: 1. Median cubital vein, easily palpated, well anchored, least painful, least likely to bruise, and usually largest vein in the antecubital space. 2. Cephalic vein, large vein that is easily palpated, but poorly anchored; can be painful to pt 3. Basilic vein, easy to palpate, not well anchored, and very close to brachial artery and the median nerve 1) Identify the necessary materials and their proper use for performing venipuncture. - CORRECT ANSWER a) Gloves (At least 2 pairs of nonsterile gloves) b) Tourniquet (3⁄4 or 1 in for adults and 1⁄8 in for children. An adult or peds BP cuff may be utilized in place at mmHg >diastolic. Esp helpful in elderly to prevent excessive stress on the vein) c) Gauze pads d) Isopropyl alcohol pads e) Povidone-iodine (for blood cultures) f) Evacuated tubes g) Labels (prepare prior to procedure) h) Adhesive strips i) Sharps container, Biohazard waste container Venipuncture performed utilizing a Vacutainer requires the following materials: -Multisample needles (18 to 23 gauge) or butterfly infusion set (21, 23, or 25 gauge). -Vacutainer holder/barrel OR m) Single draw needle and syringe 1) Demonstrate the appropriate technique and sequence for performing venipuncture utilizing both a vacutainer system and a syringe - CORRECT ANSWER a) Check pt ID and orders b) Assemble equipment needed c) Wash hands d) Position pt (If possible, position in supine or recumbent position. If sitting up, extend arm straight down from shoulder to waist) e) Select vein (1. *median cubital vein, cephalic vein, basilic vein) [sense of touch should be refined by using palmar aspects of gloved finger pads] and apply tourniquet (3-4 in. above tourniquet site. Never leave on for >2 mins) f) Don gloves, secure vein by anchoring with finger, and clean skin (begin at venipuncture site and circle outward to a 2-in diameter) g) Stretch skin downward below anticipated venipuncture site w/ nondom hand to anchor vein.

Using a syringe w/ a 20- or 21-gauge needle or butterfly needle allows for greater control. The procedure follows same steps as for Vacutainer system except differs in the order of samples drawn, aspiration of blood into the syringe, and transfer of blood into the vacuum tubes. 1. make sure there is back flow in needle 2. pull back on the plunger and fill the syringe w/ desired amount of blood & release tourniquet 3. transfer blood in syringe to tubes by Attaching a Vacutainer blood transfer device to the syringe and proceed to engage and fill the evacuated tubes in the correct order. DONT USE THE PLUNGER TO FILL THE TUBES 1) Identify strategies for handling unsuccessful attempts at venipuncture - CORRECT ANSWER a) To find difficult veins: keep extremity below level of heart for a few mins, apply warm towel to promote vasodilation for no >2 mins, use BP cuff, rub/tap vein to promote vasodilation (before site is cleaned) b) If no blood is obtained, change position of needle carefully. Move it forward or backward, and consider adjusting the angle of the needle. Monitor for hematoma formation, stopping procedure if occurs & hold pressure for 10mins (15 min if on anticoags). c) If blood stops flowing into evacuated tube, vein may have collapsed. Resecure the tourniquet to increase venous filling. If this does not fix blood flow, remove needle, take care of puncture site, and redraw. d) Avoid leaving a tourniquet on for >2 mins.. e) When using a syringe, avoid drawing plunger back too forcefully. f) If venipuncture procedure is unsuccessful, do not attempt to repeat it at same site until healing has occurred. After 3 unsuccessful attempts, stop and ask for assistance. 1. Identify the anatomy associated with the insertion of a peripheral IV catheter - CORRECT ANSWER o Forearm is used if possible (Avoiding valves and bifurcations easier in lower arm) or dorsum of the hand offers good IV access o Assess bifurcations (visualize) and valves (palpate as knot-like lumps or tortuous areas) before IV placement o Commonly used: metacarpal, basilic, or cephalic veins -can use the foot in peds pts (bc good blood flow so no risk infection). Commonly used LE veins are the greater and lesser saphenous and medial marginal veins. what are indications for insertion of IV caths? - CORRECT ANSWER o Indications: fluid administration for illness, volume depletion, burns, blood loss, electrolyte disturbance, heat stroke, shock, trauma. -admin of Abx, chemotherapeutics, blood products -admin of Dx substances like dyes or contrast, -admin of nutritional fluids what are the contraindications for administration of IV caths? - CORRECT ANSWER o Contraindications: appropriate Tx can be given by less invasive route -extremities w/ significant burns, edema, injury, cellulitis or significant infection - no insertion distal to prior failed IV cath insertion attempt -avoid inserting distal to areas of preexisting phlebitis; -extremities w/ impaired circulation (mastectomy, axillary lymph node dissection, lymphedema, clot, PVD, venous insufficiency) -extremities w/ indwelling fistula consider if med is too caustic, hypertonic, a sclerosing agent, vasopressive agent or being given for >6 days; careful in pts w/ known bleeding risk 1. Identify common complications associated with IV catheter placement. - CORRECT ANSWER o Technique: -if no flash of blood cath probably not in vein, -flash of blood but can't advance catheter: vessel valve may be occluding cath --> remove & apply pressure -fluid not flowing freely: due to clot or kink --> remove & apply pressure o Local: -if fail to cannulate vein properly, may give med or fluid in surrounding tissue outside vessel -> pain, tissue irritation, and swelling. Certain meds can be caustic to adipose tissue & necrosis -minor bleeding -thrombophlebitis (can be minimized by avoiding trauma at time of insertion, securely taping cannula in place, and avoiding placing catheter near a joint line) -local site infection or cellulitis (use aseptic techniques and dont leave in place >72-96 hours) o Systemic: (RARE) -septicemia, bacteremia: MC if dont use aseptic technique -catheter embolization: results from distal portion of the cath end being shearing off by beveled end of needle. Can be avoided by not pulling catheter sheath back over needle once it has been threaded (advanced). -pulmonary emboli: w/ centrally placed peripheral lines -air emboli: if lines aren't properly flushed to remove air before connected to cath 1. Identify proper aftercare for an IV catheter insertion site. - CORRECT ANSWER o Instruct pt on signs of infection (discomfort, pain, redness, swelling) o Have pt notify caregiver immediately if experiencing signs o IV site should be changed every 96 hours to reduce likelihood of infection 1. Identify the material necessary to insert an IV catheter. - CORRECT ANSWER o Appropriate gauge IV catheter (over the needle catheters w/ safety devices are the MC used); size range is 24-14 gauge o Gloves and other PPE (eye protection) o IV fluid o Administration set (tubing w/ drip chamber that has been primed w/ IV fluid and has roller clamp flow regulator and standard connecting) o IV pole, Infusion pump o Antimicrobial cleanser o Tourniquet o Scissors o Tegaderm or other nonocclusive dressing o Gauze o Arm board (if needed) o Biohazard waste o Antiseptic ointment what consent must be obtained for inserting IV cath. - CORRECT ANSWER Verbal consent is sufficient. For the usage of intravenous catheters, the risk- benefit ratio and the indication for placing are considered to be common knowledge for a competent and alert patient. The patient is assumed to have consented if they extend the extremity to have the IV placed. Time should be taken to explain the indication, the pain involved the procedure, the expected time for the therapy and alternatives if available. what kind of needle is used for insertion of cath in infant? how about for blood transfusions? - CORRECT ANSWER A 24-gauge (small bore), 0.5-inch catheter is commonly used in a neonate or small infant. The delivery of blood products or trauma necessitates larger bore IV devices, such as 16 or 18 gauge describe the general procedure of insertion of IV cath (not objectives) - CORRECT ANSWER 1. Apply the tourniquet above the elbow (or ankle) both both arms (or feet). Choose most suitable vein 2. Palpate vein for stability and valves (a compressible, stable vein thats free of valves for 1 in is ideal). 3. Release tourniquet,turn on infusion pump, flush tubing w/ fluid, and ensure tubing is free of trapped air bubbles. 4. Apply tourniquet snuggly and well proxi- mal to the chosen site (less pressure on elderly sensitive skin) 5. Put on gloves and eye protection. 6. Allow vein to distend, place arm below heart 7. Cleanse site with approved aseptic cleanser (70% alcohol, tincture of iodine, an iodophor, or chlorhexidine gluconate). back-and-forth motion for a min of 30 secs and then allowed to dry. 8. W/ nondom hand, hold pt's hand (or foot) securely and use thumb to gently retract skin distal to insertion site 9. Puncture vein using direct or indirect entry -Direct (one step, used for larger veins): Hold assembly at 15-20 degrees above site and enter vein directly -Indirect (2 steps, used for smaller veins): hold assembly 15-20 degrees above site and 20 degrees lateral to vein, insert cath into skin, and then advance into vein. When vein is punctured, blood should appear in flash chamber. Once flash is seen, lower needle assembly to almost parallel w/ skin and thread the cath what is special care that should be considered for insertion of cath for peds or elderly? - CORRECT ANSWER The geriatric and pediatric populations are more likely to have smaller, more fragile veins, and fewer venous options may be present; thus, careful inspection of all options should be done before attempting IV placement. Avoid the LE in elderly or pt w/ vascular insufficiency. If blood products arent being given, use a smaller catheter, such as a 24 gauge. In geriatric may be equally difficult to start an IV in a very large vessel bc it may be sclerotic. Makes vein more difficult to puncture and catheter more difficult to thread. if <1 year of age, 24 gauge is the preferred cath size. In children, securing line is critical bc tend to be more active and remove the catheter. Describe the anatomy of the skin and underlying structures affecting the manner in which injections are administered. - CORRECT ANSWER -W/ ^ depth of needle penetration, systemic absorption of an injected agent is enhanced Below the epidermis is the dermis, which varies from 1-4 mm in thickness and is composed of connective tissue. The subcutaneous (adipose) layer lies directly beneath the dermis and above the muscles. This layer is composed of hair follicles, sebaceous glands, sweat glands, blood vessels that supply the dermis, and nerves of the autonomic nervous system. what does parenteral mean? - CORRECT ANSWER the administration of medical therapy is in a manner not involving the gastrointestinal or alimentary tract. -Specific routes of parenteral delivery include intradermal, subcutaneous, intramuscular, and intravenous what are the indications for injections? - CORRECT ANSWER injections are indicated for therapeutic treatment, Dx of medical conditions (i.e., allergen response, TB), and disease prevention (i.e., immunization). what are some risks/complications associated with injections? - CORRECT ANSWER unsafe injection practices may ^ risk of exposure to infectious dz such as HBV/HCV and HIV. Infection control is not limited to prevention of needlestick injuries. The CDC cited reinsertion of used needles into multidose vials or solution containers, such as saline bags and tubing, as a contributing factors. -Pain, burning, and erythema at injection site (to reduce pain: Ensure pt is relaxed, bc muscular contraction intensifies pain; allow antiseptic to dry completely before injection; gently massage area after injection) -Infection (reduced w/ proper aseptic technique) and abscesses from irritating solutions -Lipodystrophy (Pts administering multiple and repeated injections (i.e., insulin) may develop atrophy of subcutaneous fat, which may interfere w/ absorption. Rotation of injections sites can prevent atrophy) -Injury to surrounding structures such as nerves and arteries. Risk is ^ w/ IM injections. -Allergic reaction (including anaphylaxis) to injectant -Medical error what are important uses for: Intradermal Injections IM Injections subcutaneous injections - CORRECT ANSWER INTRADERMAL: Injected into the dermal layer of skin - Useful for conditions requiring skin testing, (TB and allergens) SUBCUTANEOUS -Useful for low-volume medication delivery (ex insulin or enoxaparin) and some vaccinations INTRAMUSCULAR (IM): Injected deep into musculature for distribution through the vasculature - Useful for higher volume medication delivery and some vaccinations what are potential contraindications for injections? - CORRECT ANSWER ■ Allergy to any component of injected substance (medication, preservative, etc.). When administering vaccines, ask pts about egg and or gelatin allergies. ■ Coagulopathy (esp for IM injections) ■ Pregnant pts should not be administered live virus vaccines (i.e., MMR, varicella, influenza vaccine). ■ Active infection at the injection site where is the optimal site for IM injections? for intradermal injections? for subcutaneous injections?q - CORRECT ANSWER • Intradermal: localized effect just beneath the epidermal skin layer; optimal site is ventral forearm 10cm from antecubital fossa (allergen testing may use lateral side of upper arm or upper back for ^ SA) • Subcutaneous: optimal absorption in adipose regions of lower abdomen, anterior or posterior thigh, upper buttocks, lateral lower back, and lateral upper extremities; rotate site to prevent lipodystrophy • Intramuscular: fastest/best absorption (bc contain BVs that transport med through CV system) -MCly use deltoid, ventrogluteal (lateral hip), and vastus lateralis (lateral thigh) -some injections are specifically manufactured to become activated w/in the muscle - to minimize injury, ensuring correct pt positioning, expose skin completely, and palpating landmarks where are the landmarks for IM common injection sites ? - CORRECT ANSWER Deltoid: Place 4 fingers across deltoid, w/ top finger lying along acromion process. Inject 2 to 3 fingers below the acromion process. *Risk for injury to radial and ulnar n. or brachial artery Ventrogluteal (Gluteus medius and minimus): Place heel of hand over greater trochanter, w/ thumb pointing toward groin and fingers toward head. Place index finger on anterosuperior iliac spine, extending the 3rd digit along iliac crest (a "V" is formed by first and third digits). Inject into center of the "V." **Advocated as 1st choice bc of distance from major nerves and blood vessels Vastus lateralis: Place hand above knee and then below greater trochanter of femur. The area between the hands is the vastus lateralis. Inject into middle 1/3 of the area. **Preferred choice by clinicians for infants & common in children/adults Dorsogluteal (Gluteus maximus): Draw an imaginary line btwn posterior superior iliac spine and greater trochanter of femur. Inject above and lateral to the imaginary line. Less reliable method: Divide butt into quadrants, inject into upper outer quadrant, 2-3 in below the iliac crest. *Most resources do not advocate routine administration in buttocks bc risk for sciatic n. and superior gluteal artery injury. 1) Recognize the importance of equipment preparation and proper technique when administering injections. - what are methods to ensure proper care? - CORRECT ANSWER -"rights of medication administration": -Right pt -right med (check med or vaccine label 3 times) -right dose, right time, right route, right site, -right documentation (A copy of a Vaccine Information Statement (VIS) required by law to be given to the pt and/or legal guardian for each dose) -Never administer meds from same syringe even if the needle itself was changed Before obtaining a verbal consent, inform the pt about the indication, benefits, and risks. Always verify allergies Inform pt about site of administration and potential sensations on needle insertion. (don't lie)• what is equipment needed for injections - CORRECT ANSWER Equipment: 2 or 3mL syringe, needle (according to route of admin and size of pt), injectable substance, alcohol pads, gloves, sharps container, gauze pad, bandage Size of needle: The larger the gauge, the smaller the diameter (26 gauge is thinner than a 20 gauge) Progressing from shorter length and thinner gauge -> longer length and larger gauge = intradermal, subQ, and IM needles. Commonly used sizes--> Intramuscular: 20 to 25 gauge, 1.5 inches Subcutaneous: 25 to 27 gauge, 3/8 to 5⁄8 inches Intradermal: 25 to 27 gauge, 0.5 to 5⁄8 inches -how are each of the following injection procedures done: *intradermal *subcutanous *IM - CORRECT ANSWER •Intradermal: after prepping site insert needle w/ bevel up at a 15° angle into upper layers of skin and inject slowly; wheal or bleb should appear (do not rub site/apply pressure) • Subcutaneous: after prepping site, bunch the skin w/ non dominate hand to pull subQ layer away from musculature and insert needle w/ bevel up at 45° angle into subQ layer, inject slowly and apply pressure w/gauze after needle removal •IM: after prepping site, ensure pt is relaxed, gently stretch skin pressing down slightly to reduce subcutaneous tissue and insert needle w/ a quick thrust at a 90° angle deep into muscle, apply pressure after needle withdrawal what is the recommended location for IM and SubQ injections in pediatric patients? - CORRECT ANSWER what are special ways for administering insulin? - CORRECT ANSWER Insulin preparations typically require that the vial be gently rolled in the palm of the hands to ensure proper distribution. Shaking the bottle can alter the potency. Pts need education on injection site rotation to limit lipodystrophy. Typically, sites such as the arms, abdomen, thighs, and buttocks provide effective absorption of insulin. Documentation and patient follow-up care after injections are : - CORRECT ANSWER The following documentation is required for any injected substance. -Name and manufacturer of agent, lot number, expiration date. Injection method (specific site, needle, route). Date, time, and person who administered injection. Vaccination Information Statement for vaccines **It is recommended to observe the pt for at least 15 mins after vaccination. Syncopal episodes may occur during or after a vaccination. Preceding sx- weakness, pallor, dizziness, palpitations, and diaphoresis. Adequate preparation includes having the pt seated or lying down during and after injection. *HCPs should report significant AEs after vaccination to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) read the notes about how surgical knot tying procedures should be done on canvas - CORRECT ANSWER what are the advantages for plaster materials for casts? what are the advantages for fiberglass materials for casts? - CORRECT ANSWER PLASTER: easier to mold to an extremity, giving it an advantage when a snug and form-fitting cast is needed on an area w/ challenging contours, (ex. chubby, cone-shaped arm/legs of a toddler). Also absorbs ("wicks") underlying wound drainage, making it a desirable splinting material in trauma and postoperative settings. Although messy to apply, plaster is easily washed off with soap and water—making the wearing of gloves optional. Less expensive FIBERGLASS: The material of choice for majority of cast and splint applications, esp for weight-bearing ("walking") casts. its strength and flexibility, light weight, ease of application, and durability. Once hardened, it is fully water-resistant. Generates a much smaller exothermic reaction. Begins to harden in 3-4 mins and fully hardens in 1-2 hrs.
