The administration of a substance into the rectum such as Diastat or Diazepam Rectal Gel requires skill and competence on the part of the unregulated care provider, as well as compliance with the RHPA and QAM. In this course, we will conduct a comprehensive examination of Diastat, a medication vital for emergency situations. Our focus will extend beyond merely discussing its usage; we will delve into emergency procedural guidelines essential for its administration. Additionally, we will meticulously explore potential medication side effects. Furthermore, we will thoroughly analyze critical decision points, empowering you with the knowledge to discern when to seek assistance or initiate a call to 911.
