NOTES
1. ✦ Assemble equipment.
2. ✦ Perform hand hygiene.
3. ✦ Select the correct medication as
instructed in the “three befores.”
If you are not familiar with the
medication, look it up in a
reference book, read the package
insert, consult the physician, or do
all three.
4. ✶ Always double-check the label
to validate that the strength is
correct, because medications
are manufactured with dierent
strengths.
5. ✶ Correctly calculate the dosage
in writing. Double-check your
calculations with someone else.
6. ✶ Check the dosage again against
the medication order.
7. ✦ Replace the cap on the
medication bottle and return
the bottle to the storage shelf or
refrigerator after reading the label
again.
8. ✶ Warmly greet and identify the
patient both by stating his or
her name and examining any
printed identification such as
a wrist name band or medical
record. Introduce yourself to the
patient and ask if the patient has
any allergies.
9. ✦ Give the patient a gown or sheet.
Have the patient remove all
clothing from the waist down.
Assist the patient as necessary
and provide reassurance,
because the patient may
be uncomfortable with the
administration of a suppository.

minutes until the suppository
melts.

b. Vaginal suppository: Have
the patient lie supine (face

a clean pad between the
patient’s legs for placement
of supplies. Drape the patient
for privacy. Apply nonsterile

clean pad. If an applicator is
provided, drop it on the clean
pad. With one gloved hand,

hold the folds apart. Using
the other hand, insert the
suppository one finger length
into the vagina. If an applicator

into the applicator and insert
it in a downward direction.
Instruct the patient to remain in
the supine, legs-apart position

the applicator into the glove
wrapper. Remove one glove
by pulling inside out from the
cu. With the remaining gloved
hand, roll the contaminated
wrapper and contents. Hold
these waste items as you
remove the remaining glove
over them. Dispose of all
materials in a waste container.
Oer the patient a sanitary
napkin.
