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

NOTE: Before withdrawing medication from the vial, ensure that the vial is not cracked, expired, or contaminated. After withdrawing the medication into the syringe, verify that the correct amount has been withdrawn and that the solution in the syringe is free of air bubbles, particulate matter, or discoloration.

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
