What’s the window of strip In the exam they give you a sample blood in a squeeze bottle. You squeeze one drop to the strip however it goes over or fills not to worry Ensure you hold it over the tray. Usually the strip takes in blood as much it needs to display result. Thank you HST Learning

Since it is a simulated exam you only verbalise about rotating the site each time Thank you HST Learning

Ask the patient if she has previously been prick and location. Say: I asked because I need to rotate the pricking site. This should be said before pricking patient. Also avoid pricking the thumb and index fingers.

Thank you from HST Learning

Thanks so much May I ask for more clarification on the pre - and post times, please

Thank you by HST learning

Not required to clean just need to inspect that finger tip is clean Thank you HST Learning

Thank you from HST Learning

You can do this before you remove gloves, but in OSCE it is understood when giving cotton swab, you verbalise patient to press hold the cotton. Most patients generally throw the cotton away after few seconds …. Giving cotton is most important

@@gilbertmartis5547 thank you sir.. one more thing, didn't we need facemask for pt and ourselves??

​@@pauljonathan2761No . Mostly in UK , mask isn't needed unless performing respiratory related procedures such as suctioning.

Are you asking about setting date in the Glucometer

2 hours after food is post prandial Thank you. HST Learning

​@@gilbertmartis5547 The highest peak blood sugar levels generally occur 1 hour after meal. I don't understand why in the video you said 1 hour after meal is still pre-meal? I'm confused. Please clarify, thank you.

@@JosefinaFernandes-n4o post prandial blood sugar is done two hours after meal Please check here www.diabetes.co.uk/features/pre-and-post-meal-testing.html

So we still write it under post

Great All the very best HST Learning
