Nice video, I love my FreeStyle Libre 14days and Blucon cgm together, both helps me to manage my blood glucose. My Blucon give me alarms on my and my partner’s phone when I’m high or low so that’s nice.
Hi Emer, thank you for these fantastic videos. I'm about to start year 1 at Uni later this month. could you direct me to which videos are relevant to my first year of adult nursing? thank you.
thanks so much, my osce is next month and i will come back and share my result bcos i am learning alot from you. please the marking criteria says, take sample before inserting the strip on the machine, and putting the sample on the strip window is that the excepted thing
Hey you got your results?
This is superb, pls can you do a video on Braden score, planning and evaluation? Thanks
Ill upload soon 😉
For 8min procedures will set the equipment first bfr proceeding to the patient

Hi,
I have a few questions.
1. Is that the device we will be using?
2. The skill is done in community or hospital settings?
3. We don’t have to ask/check patient’s ID and if he has taken meal/snacks before sugar monitoring?
4. Is it necessary to put on apron?
Thanks!
Hi wendy, please see the marking criteria on the description. You are using the blue glucometer - see the picture.
It doesn’t really matter where the setting is, steps are all the same.
No mention about the need to check the patient’s identity.
Yes apron is needed- refer to the criteria. Goodluck
Please, what's the normal glucose reading for OSCE?
No id check?
Where and when do we dispose of the test strip with the blood? Yellow bin together with the gloves ?
Thankyou for the superb vid btw.
Yup that’s correct. Good luck
Hello Emer thank you for this great video. Please I would like to confirm if it’s necessary to clean the finger to pierce with alcohol wipes prior to piercing
Thanks
hi not written on the criteria
Many thanks
❤
no need to check MRN? wipe the finger alcohol wipes, wipe the first blood, then get the next blood for reading?
Hello dear would they fail you if we didn’t verbalize the finger is clean 😢kindly reply
It is better if you verbalise that but it will depend on the assessor. BEst of luck
It is really useful tnk u
UPDATE: you will either be recording a pre or post prandial reading on your documentation. Please read the scenario carefully.
Please study the normal values and take note that in the UK our unit of measurement for blood glucose is mmol/L not mg/dl.
FUN FACT : here if we say “BM” we are referring to blood sugar or blood sugar monitoring not BOWEL MOVEMENT 😉

Can you please tell us the normal values for pre and post prandial? It shows differently on Google.
@@johannamarie2474 go to NICE guidelines 😉
Please what's the community scenario documentation for subcutaneous injection and blood glucose monitoring like.
Hi it's the same regardless of the setting. You only need to write the results (if relevant) and of course your signature, date and time
Hi
Please when do we say a BM is pre /post prandial
E.g if my patient ate at 8am, and the BM is checked at 12noon , is that a post or pre?

Hi what is the answer for this question? Thanks
What do you think?
@@EmerDiego I only needed a clarification that's why I asked. If you don't mind please
@@oluwatobijayeola9865 on your example you said that you will check the blood sugar at 12 then the next information you have to know is if the patient will eat. If that’s the case then it will be a preprandial blood sugar.
We do post prandial bm after meals around 1-2 hours . Going back to your example if the patient had eaten at 8am and then you checked the bm after 4 hours and lets say the patient will continue NOT to eat for an extended period then to an extent, you are checking the blood sugar on a fasted state.
The exam will be straightforward so I will you all good luck ❤️
@@EmerDiego Thank you so much, I really appreciate
Why did you avoid the index finger?
Avoid thumb and index finger because it is needed for dexrerity.
wow
💯👏👏👏
❤️❤️❤️
What is the normal BLOOD glucose level?
4-8
4.5- 7
4-7
We need to wipe after piercing and then take the second sample. Also, no patient identification?
hi Jamila, its not part of the criteria. good luck
Hie,I have 2 questions:first question is between gain consert from the patient and prepare the equipment which one is come first?,
Second question is we don't clean with cotton swab before pricking?
I also want to question that. Usually i clean the finger with alcohol swab before pricking. Do my practices outdated or Im just doing it in the wrong way? Very confused.
please check the current evidence based practice
