in your medical bag regularly to make sure that
they have not passed the expiry date.

 Drug:
Make sure that the vial or ampoule contains the
right drug in the right strength.

 Sterility:
During the whole preparation procedure, material
should be kept sterile. Wash your hands before
starting to prepare the injection. Disinfect the
skin over the injection site.

 No bubbles:
Make sure that there are no air bubbles left in the
syringe. This is more important in intravenous
injections.

 Prudence :
Once the protective cover of the needles is
removed extra care is needed. Do not touch
anything with the unprotected needle. Once the
injection has been given take care not to prick
yourself or somebody else.

 Waste:
Make sure that contaminated waste is disposed
of safely.
