Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm

Performing the safety test ensures that an accurate dose was received and the pen and needle work properly while removing air bubbles. Take off the outer needle cap and keep it to remove the used needle after injection. Take off the inner needle cap and discard it. Hold the pen with the needle pointing upwards, dial the pen to two units and press the injection button all the way in. Check if insulin comes out of the needle tip. Select the dose and administer the insulin. Review of the Humalog Manufacturer directions, dated 11/19, indicated to pull the pen cap straight off, wipe the rubber seal with an alcohol swab, check the liquid in the pen for color, select a new needle, pull off the paper tab from the outer needle shield, push the capped needle straight onto the pen and twist the needle on until it is tight pull off the outer needle shield, prime before each injection by selecting two units, hold your pen with the needle point up, tap the cartridge holder gently to collect air bubbles at the top, push the dose knob in until it stops and the 0 can be seen. You should see insulin at the tip of the needle. Select the dosage of the insulin to be administered and administer it to the resident. 2.
