4. Set up the glucometer according to the specific direction that comes with the meter
5. Inspect the finger to be punctured

7. Adjust the depth of puncture by rotating the lancing device dial
8. Inspect the strip or canister for the code and expiry

14. hold the hand down and place a drop of blood on the test strip according to the instructions
of the meter
15. gently press on the site using the cotton swab to stop bleeding and reduce risk of bruising
16. remove the lancets from the lancing device and test strip from meter

17. dispose sharps and contaminated waste in appropriate containers

date
time
result
puncture site
20. Ensure that the client is comfortable and that the bleeding is stopped.
