A child with diabetes insipidus will be receiving injectable vasopressin when discharged from the hospital. What is the most important step when teaching injection techniques

Respuesta :

The primary step is to train the health care professionals about the injection techniques and to determine if the child is of the appropriate age to receive the injection.

Good injection practice deals with selecting the appropriate site for administration. The route of administration of injection is mostly intramuscular in a child. The drug is delivered to the vascular muscle tissue and is rapidly absorbed into the circulation of the child. Diabetes insipidus is a disorder that leads to imbalanced fluid in the body. This causes frequent urination, a condition referred to as polyuria. Vasopressin is the anti-diuretic hormone, the lack of which causes diabetes insipidus. Administration of vasopressin externally helps the kidneys to retain water and prevent dehydration.
