To fill an oral syringe with liquid medicine, follow these steps:
- Shake the bottle of medicine well, ensuring the cap is securely on.
- Remove the cap from the bottle.
- Insert the bottle adapter if necessary.
- Insert the top of the oral syringe into the bottle adapter.
- Turn the bottle upside down and pull the plunger until the medicine reaches the desired volume.
Important Notes:
- Ensure the medicine is measured accurately using the markings on the syringe.
- If the bottle doesn't have a bottle adapter, place it on a flat surface and carefully tip it to draw the medicine into the syringe.
- Oral syringes come in different sizes, so it's essential to use the correct size for the required dosage.
Example:
Imagine you need to administer 2 ml of medicine. After filling the syringe, check the markings to confirm that the medicine level reaches the 2 ml mark.
