Part of Lesson Plan: Capillary Blood Test - Blood Glucose Screening

Activity Overview / Details

Students will begin in groups of 2 demonstrating the skill using the step by step check off list. (Can insert another copy of check off at this point)

Monitor the group of 2 and upon completion continue on to the next group and so on until everyone in the class has had the opportunity to perform the skill.

Remind the students of the requirements for a successful capillary blood glucose screening and the most common mistakes.

Common mistakes may include:

*not pressing the lancet down firmly on the finger while puncturing

*raising the hand/arm above the heart while trying to obtain the sample which in turn slows the blood flow down

*not inserting reagent rest strip all the way into the test unit

*forgetting to turn the unit on or taking to long so that the unit may automatically shut off
