Dear Sarah, I am so grateful and thankful for you, I passed my NCLEX with 75 questions, even I practice many of questions from Kaplan and Uworld, I never forget to review with all your videos and quizzes. Keep doing your good work..
Thank you for doing this video super informative and well done. One question, if the reading does not fall within the range written on the strips vial, what is what I must do? discard the strips or discard the glucometer and buy a new one. Thank you in advance for your help.
Do nurses taking blood glucose in a hospital setting need to do this or does someone from maybe a supply department check it every so often? If they do, how often and how is it documented? I feel like it would be responsible to check but at the same time it could be over kill for everyone to be testing quality control on one glucometer. Thanks so much for making these great videos and thanks in advance :]
Hello Kelly :) Great question! In most hospital settings (depending the facilities protocols and the type of glucometer), the nursing staff (which includes LPNs, RNs, and nursing assistants who are trained to do so) perform quality control checks every 12 hours (so once a shift by one person) on the meter. The glucometer will not let your proceed with checking a blood sugar unless you perform the quality controls. I hope that makes sense. Thanks for watching the video. I wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
+RegisteredNurseRN I was wondering if my any chance you had a video on phlebotomy(for example evacuated tube or butterfly methods) and the order collection tubes. .if not, is there any tips on your website..
