An Advice to my colleagues.
Please for no reason should you administer any medication,via intramuscular route without doing the following:
1) Invisibly dividing the buttocks,or laps into quadrant(in to 4 +')
โwe know that if drug is to be administered intramuscularly on laps and buttocks, site is upper outer quadrant of the thigh or buttocks,as the case may be.
2) cleaning the area with spirit/savlon as the case may be.
3) Withdrawing before administering the drug in the upper outer quadrant.
โThis no 3,is the main point, because many have been left paralyzed, it is not funny.
โAm an expert in the field will not save you.
โThe SCIATIC NERVE is what we all know is the ultimate reason for withdrawing as not to injure it,it would take nothing to withdraw first.
I have read, but never experienced it until one-day I withdrew and blood was drawn into my syringe, imagine if I gave that shot without withdrawing, it was Arthemeter ,an oily drug for that matter, if God isn't Faithful,I don't know what else to call that.
In a nutshell, no one is a master in this profession, don't try to impress, do ur job in the most calm way, so as to in the best way cut down on errors.
no one has a monopoly of knowledge, ask questions and God will see us through.
Happy Nurses week in advance ๐ค ๐.
