How to Read a Syringe 3 ml, 1 ml, Insulin, & 5 ml/cc | Reading a Syringe Plunger

Learn how to read a syringe: This video will explain how to read different nursing syringe sizes such as the 3 mL, 1 mL, 5 mL, 10 mL, and Insulin syringes (100 units).

As the nurse, it is very important you know how to correctly read a syringe when drawing up medications.

A syringe consists of various parts such as the adapter (which is where you draw up and injection the medication), barrel (which has a scale on it that allows you to measure the medication), plunger (which assists in drawing up and measuring the medication).

Syringes consist of different measuring scales. For example, most 3 mL syringes measure each line as 0.1 mL, while 1 mL syringes measure each line as 0.01 mL. A 3 mL syringe is best for giving medications that require you draw up 0.5 mL of a medication. While a 1 mL syringe is best for giving medications that require you draw up small amounts like 0.25 mL.

Vial Medication Administration: How to Withdraw Vial Medication Nursing Skill

Vial medication administration nursing skill. Learn techniques to withdraw medication from a vial using a syringe with a needle.

Medications can come in different forms, such as ampules, vials, tablets, capsules, and so forth. When withdrawing medication from a vial, there are a few things you'll want to know as a nursing student or nurse.

First, there are different needles that can be attached to the syringe. You can use a traditional needle with a beveled tip; you can use a blunt-tip needle to reduce the risk of needle sticks; or you can use a filter needle, which is sometimes required or recommended when drawing medication from a vial, particularly in cases of reconstituted medication.

When withdrawing from a vial, you'll want to do these things (assuming they fit with the protocols and manufacturer's instructions):


NOTE: Some medications or vaccines may require a different technique, so always consult with the manufacturer's instructions.

-gather your supplies
-perform hand hygiene
-clean the vial's top with alcohol prep
-attach the appropriate needle
-stick the needle using a technique to prevent coring of the rubber on the vial (start with 45 degree angle, and as you puncture the vial, rotate the needle to a 90 degree angle in one smooth motion).
-push air into the vial equal to the amount of medication you plan to draw
-invert the vial to withdraw medication
-remove air bubbles
-and much more

@circxsking : While I'm not a nurse, nor am I studying to become one personally, I give myself weekly HRT injections. This has helped me figure out how to draw my Testosterone properly as a visual learner. Week 4 as of today and I still find myself coming to this every Thursday just to clarify that I'm doing it right. Thanks!
@nicolerita4556 : Thank you! I'm no nurse and giving myself IVF injections. This was super helpful! I previously pulled the needle out while it and the vial were vertical and some med sprayed. So, grateful to learn to angle the pair when removing the needle to avoid this. Appreciate all the tips too!
@blakewagner61 : Thanks for your hard work and taking the time to make this World a better place. I’m definitely a better nurse today, than I was yesterday, and I can truthfully say that I credit you for a share of that as well as my teachers.
Thanks, your fan from Lexington Ky

@thefacelessnurse3885 : I had my first grad day yesterday and was worried about getting a needle stick injury from the build up of pressure. This video has really helped with a nice slow explanation and close up. Thank you so much xx
