INTRODUCTION
The blood sugar level is the centration of sugar existing in the bloodstream of people. The
tutor asked us to prepare and make a demonstration of the blood sugar test in class. Our tutor
instructed us to choose a partner randomly for the demonstration of the use of the glucose-
monitoring device. The tutor would perform the demonstration in partnership with another tutor
and we were to keenly follow the demonstration and try perfume it with each other in pairs.
With the device at hand, blood glucose meter, the tutor explained to us the importance of
monitoring blood. The tutor informed us that the cope with testing and observing gear is
accessible to help individuals deal with their diabetes (Drucker et.al 2016). The tutor then pulled
a drop of blood from the finger of the fellow tutor by the use of finger sprint gadget and the put it
in the unique stick. They then inspected the meter to perceive the level of sugar in the blood.
After the demonstration, they looked at us and expected us to follow the same procedure they
followed.
Feelings
Immediately after the teacher was done, I grabbed by friends finger, I had the courage at first
but when I the finger sprint gadget was handed to me, I was very nervous and scared. I kept my
fingers holding my friend's hand for long without any action. I was not ready to see my friend’s
blood since I believed that would mean harm to the friend. The procedure became difficult. Even
though the tutor had demonstrated it earlier, I found myself forgetting a few essential steps; I had
to ask the tutor to repeat the demonstration so that I could be competent enough. Despite the

NRSG 3
difficulty, I tried my best and the results were amazing, this made me gain more confidence in
doing it repeatedly to anybody.
Evaluation
The positive outcome of my first blood-monitoring test improved my confidence largely.
Having followed the correct procedure and performing a successful demonstration was the most
inspiring lesson of that day. I was able to carry out the procedure with minimal errors. The
improvement feedback from my tutor encouraged me more. I was able to master the procedure
and even explain to the rest of the class clearly and systematically. However, I realized that I was
not very keen with the matters of hygiene, I found myself improperly putting on gloves, this
made me nervous because it was the priority precaution, which the tutor emphasized.
Analysis
I did a deep analysis of my presentation and performance skills, I realized that I was able to
compressively carry out not only the demonstrations but also even the actual real test. My critical
thinking skills were key in the individual procedure of evaluation, assessment and the
demonstration of the techniques, which the tutors performed in front of us. A competent nurse
must be able to make proper decisions properly and systematically, which ensures proper and
sure quality care to the patients. Moreover, I collected the equipment before the demonstration to
asses them and ensure that they were working properly so that I could minimize any chances or
errors and time wastage (Sultan 2015). During the demonstration, I made several efforts of
asking any question more so whenever I was not sure with any procedure to be taken. A nurse

needs to seek advice in matters, which seem complex to avoid errors, which may be fatal to the
patients.
Conclusion
I am very glad to have gotten the opportunity of improving my practical skills concerning the
blood sugar test and monitoring. The demonstrations helped me identify my mistakes, correct the
mistakes and develop on them without feeling embarrassed. I improved so much on my
information presentation skills.It equipped me with the confidence of facing a similar situation of
real life in the future of my nursing career.
Action Plan
Finally, I will always ask for always educated or inform the patients about the blood sugar test
before asking for their consent in taking the test. This will make them understand the importance
of blood sugar monitoring. I will always grab every opportunity of carrying out the blood sugar
test since I am now competent enough to handle the procedure without further inquiry (Bassot
2015). I am also able to demonstrate the procedure to any student who would like to gain the
knowledge to help them improve their competency while performing such tasks. Lastly, I would
always be keen to avoid any petty mistakes which can turn out to be costly hence endangering
my life and the lives of patients.
