As with some of the others we draw up the correct dose and then use the blue syringe stoppers.

this technique is stolen from another nurse i work with....cut the end of normal needle caps with claw clippers and the end fits perfectly on the end of the syringe. we keep a tub full of needle caps just for this purpose

You could draw up the dose in a syringe, and transfer it into a plain blood tube (remove the little disc inside!) and give the owner a 1ml syringe so she can administer it. That way, the tubes are securely sealed and transported easily - there's no risk of the owner accidentally depressing the syringe. It's up to you whether you put the exact dose in each tube, or the lot in one tube, depending on the client! The tubes are then easily put into a dispensing bag, to give to the owner

The orange caps off of certain insulin syringes fit on the end of syringes quite nicely (they also fit very well on the end of giving sets)

would def agree syringe caps are the way forward, i wouldn't give the client's needles or cut needles re safety and like you said compliance/confusion. syringe caps are cheap to purchase and are designed for this purpose. when i've seen vetergesic dispensed it's always been in individual pre-drawn up doses for sublingual use. i think it works well for post dentals :)

Some vaccines come with little rubber stoppers on the ends of the syringes, these work well or I agree with the ends of giving sets.

We have small blue syring caps that stop the fluid leaking out.

Save the ends from your giving set lines, they fit syringe ends perfectly :)

we alos draw up individually but to stop it then leaking out we leave the needle hub on and cut the needle itself off. sometimes we also wrap a bit of tape around the base to be removed when client ready to use.

Must say we use tramadol tablets far more these days though esp since summit produce them in low doses now
