We went to the patient’s house together to administer insulin medication. I was assigned to complete this task under the supervision of the practice supervisor. I introduce myself to patients, obtain their consent, and explain that I will check their blood glucose levels and then administer insulin medication.

First, I must clean the patient’s fingertips to remove any dirt or food residue that may interfere with the reading. The patient’s blood glucose level is nine mmol/L following breakfast. I need to look at the patient’s drug chart to see the insulin medication and how many units the doctor has prescribed. Novo-Mix insulin is required for the patient in the amount of 26 teams. Also, before administering insulin, I must check the expiration date and the last time it was issued. I inject 26 units of Novo-Mix insulin into the right abdomen. Because the patient’s patch medication was about to expire, I removed the old patch and applied a new one to his left shoulder.

I learned that Novomix contains fast-acting and intermediate-acting insulin and that Novomix is a class of insulin medicines used to treat diabetic patients who require insulin to control their blood glucose levels.

I have gained knowledge about patch medication. A transdermal patch is a current pain management treatment for chronic pain and other diseases.

I introduced myself to the patient and gained consent; before the task, I checked the patient’s folder to ensure the job needed to be carried out, and medication had not already been given. I cleaned my finger and continued to check my blood sugars. A good technique for sub-cut injection and the right site used for injection; – communicated with the patient and correctly disposed of sharps objects. I continued to apply the transdermal patch, using a different side to apply and checking the expiry date before application; the patient seemed comfortable and happy.
