Before the incident
I was administering morning medications in the patient 's room. I had already administered other SQ medications and was just going to give the last insulin medication.
What happened
As I was done administering the insulin I was pushing the needle further in order for it to retract and it was not retracting like the prior needles I had already used. Since it was not retracting I pulled the needle out and was going to retract it when it slipped and I poked my other hand - left that I was using to hold the patient 's arm.
Injury or illness
Inner middle finger on the left hand. quick pinch on the finger where I stuck myself
Object or substance involved
Insulin needle
Summary line
Needlestick injury to left 3rd finger from contaminated insulin needle sustained secondary to incomplete closure of safety post medication administration.
