How to Read a Syringe 3 ml, 1 ml, Insulin, & 5 ml/cc | Reading a Syringe Plunger

Learn how to read a syringe: This video will explain how to read different nursing syringe sizes such as the 3 mL, 1 mL, 5 mL, 10 mL, and Insulin syringes (100 units).
As the nurse, it is very important you know how to correctly read a syringe when drawing up medications.
A syringe consists of various parts such as the adapter (which is where you draw up and injection the medication), barrel (which has a scale on it that allows you to measure the medication), plunger (which assists in drawing up and measuring the medication).
Syringes consist of different measuring scales. For example, most 3 mL syringes measure each line as 0.1 mL, while 1 mL syringes measure each line as 0.01 mL. A 3 mL syringe is best for giving medications that require you draw up 0.5 mL of a medication. While a 1 mL syringe is best for giving medications that require you draw up small amounts like 0.25 mL.
