I am a student nurse entering my second semester and starting clinicals soon; my instructors didn't properly teach any of this. I feel a lot more confident for my clinicals now. This is one of the most through and clearly presented videos I have found on the topic. Thank you so much!

[@NurseErica]

Happy to help! Wish you the best this semester!

[@NurseGinnyRN]

Your videos are a HUGE help. I’m in med-surg1 right now. My instructor flew through this and didn’t really understand. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain ea step and why.

[@ionutpiglesan8348]

How is it possible to turn upside down the ampoule and no liquid spills ? #5:43

[@mattybeattie5273]

Air pressure outside the ampoule is greater than air pressure inside the ampoule. (The liquid is 'pushed' in)

[@afuwad4073]

Surface tension

THANK YOU VERY MUCH9

[@reuben3694]

In the uk it’s advised to wear gloves because if the medication spills onto your skin, that will have an accumulative effect. So when you need that medicine later on it may not be as affective.

[@user-ow9gr1hg1e]

But how is it possible that the solution didn't pour when you turned it upside down

[@GMpiece]

Thank you🙏🏿

[@ukelilly]

Hi. Are the filtered needle ( the blunt one you used) usually comes with a pink cap ? And the IM , SubQ is another color ?

[@AnthyUwU]

What do I do if I have to self-inject it at home and don't have access to the blunt needle or a filter?

[@sajihussain4833]

Good

[@aryasingh0001]

Wonderful information..Thanks
Please demonstrate injections also in patient or colleagues

[@johnemmons9087]

Thank you for the video.
Question....instead of wasting the leftover, can’t one draw the medicine into a couple of other sterile syringes and store it safely?
I’m my case, I have ampules of injectable vitamins and can not inject the entire amount. And I hate wasting the rest because it’s expensive! Can one divide it into 3 syringes, recap needles, and store in fridge, and use it during the week?
Thank you

[@NurseErica]

I would check with your state or facility policy. My friend owns an IV hydration business and they need a special hood to even reuse vials in her state.

[@michaelgangale366]

Tried and still cannot get the fluid to go into the needle..it takes a back n forth multiple times to get fluid to into the needle..and usually have air bubbles that take up a ton of med to be squirted back in inorder to get them out..this is a mess

[@chris09423]

The liquid does come out when you tip it over??

[@nushankodikara]

I'm confused

[@vijays2128]

I'm having the same doubt.

[@chris09423]

Update to this old comment: It does work, though, I stopped before it destroyed my body. My liver wasn't all in the best shape after taking doses. But after being off of it for a while I am getting back after it. After stopping, you loose motivation, you loose the drive, and you feel so lazy. But, I forced myself to go to the gym, and now I'm doing better than how I was on this.

[@ralngm]

Are there any chances that broken glass particles get mixed with medicine?

[@Hala-ataa]

Yes

[@MarinYT80]

what about the rest of the medication from the ampule .. throw away?

[@NurseErica]

Yes, unfortunately you have to throw it away in the sharps container. But be sure to scan it first
