insulin injection
Diseases Process
Patient was instructed on how to inject. To pinch the skin properly squeeze a couple of inches of skin between the thumb and two fingers. Insert the needle. Hold the pinch so the needle does not go into the muscle. Push the plunger to inject the insulin
. Release the grip on the skin fold. Remove the needle from the skin.
Patient was instructed on the importance of rotate the site of insulin injection
to prevent future complications in that skin area. Injecting in the same place much of the time can cause hard lumps or extra fat deposits to develop.
Caregiver was instructed that most insulin
enters the blood,
Instructed in insulin
.This is used to decrease blood glucose levels, by replacing insulin
not produced by the pancreas.
Instructed patient on insulin
. It is widely used to decrease blood glucose levels by replacing insulin
not produced by the pancreas.
Patient was instructed on Hyperglycemia. Whether the decreased insulin
activity is due to a amount of insulin
, the results are the same
Patient was instructed on Hyperglycemia. High blood sugar develops when there is too little insulin
or when the body fails to respond properly to the insulin
in the blood. High blood sugar emergencies often develop because of some underlying condition that may not be obvious, such as a heart attack, infection, or surgery.
Patient was instructed on hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia may result from a variety of causes that include: Too much insulin
. Tumors in the pancreas (insulin
omas), certain disorders of the pancreas, or some autoimmune diseases can cause too much insulin
to be produced. These conditions are rare.
Patient was instructed on diabetes. Disease is cause by a lack of insulin
, a hormone made in the pancreas that is essential for converting energy from food. Insulin
is necessary for the body to process nutrients (carbohydrates, fats and proteins), and its absence cause high sugar levels in the blood.
Patient was instructed on diabetes. There are 2 types of diabetes. Type I diabetes, the pancreas stops making insulin
altogether. Type II diabetes, the body still makes some insulin
but it doesn't make enough, or the body can't use it properly.
