Yesterday I was rushing to do a quick site change before I had my baking class. I got the new hip area IV-Prepped, got the site itself ready, let the IV Prep dry, stuck the thing into place, swapped my tubing to the new site, pulled up my pants and was on my way.
Notice anything missing in that routine?
You got it. I forgot to take the old site out. Oops.
Later on, I was checking something in my pocket and I felt something on my hip. As soon as I figured it out, I just had to laugh at myself. I didn’t want to take it out just yet because I didn’t have any antibiotic cream on me, so I just left it in until I got home. It secretly made me laugh the whole time I was at class. =)
