INTRODUCTION
In this assignment, I will utilize the Gibbs model of reflection o reflect on the different
experiences that I came across together with my two other friends (Williams, Woolliams, &
Spiro, 2012). The reflection is specifically about the routes of drug administration that include
subcutaneous, intramuscular and the finally the oral route.
DESCRIPTION
During one of my clinical practice, I realized that one my peers was good at
intramuscular administration of drugs. I realized that his preferred site of injection was the rectus
femoris. There was another scenario I came across where a friend of mine administered
medication using the subcutaneous route on the upper arm .I however noticed that he was
injecting at the same site of one patient for two weeks. This eventually led to tissue damage.
There was a situation where I was to administer oral medication to a child .I therefore mixed the
drug with a sugary drink so that the child could drink quickly .I however realized that the
efficacy was reduced.
FEELINGS
I felt very anxious since I wanted to learn and find out why he does not use the
dorsogluteal site that were taught in class .I felt very sympathetic for the patient. This is because
patients expect improvement when they visit nurses and we should not create other medical
complications. I felt very bitter since the child was in acute pain and needed immediate relieve.
