Study Notes
ID Medical Abbreviation Flashcards
- ID Location: Injected into the dermal layer of the skin.
- Injection Angle: Administered at a 10-15 degree angle to ensure correct placement.
- Purpose of ID: Primarily used for PPD (Purified Protein Derivative) and allergy testing.
- Common Injection Sites: Typically performed on the inner forearm and upper back.
- Skin Characteristics: PPD and allergy testing sites are chosen due to hair and thinner skin, which facilitate easier injection and assessment.
- Medications for PPD: Tubersol is commonly used along with other allergy test solutions.
- Syringe Size: A 1ml syringe is standard for administering medication or solutions in ID testing.
- PPD Definition: PPD stands for Purified Protein Derivative, a substance used in tuberculosis testing.
- Testing for Tuberculosis: PPD is used specifically to test for tuberculosis antibodies in the body.
- Reading the Test: Results of the PPD test must be read within 48-72 hours to ensure accuracy.
- Consequences of Delay: If the PPD test is not read in the specified time frame, the results are invalid and a new test is necessary.
- Injection Depth: If the needle is inserted too deeply, medication may enter fatty tissue instead of staying in the dermal layer.
- Post-Injection Care: Patients should be advised against rubbing, scratching, or washing the injection site after receiving the PPD shot.
- Follow-up for TB: A chest X-ray (CXR) must be performed to rule out tuberculosis if indicated.
