医学英语：教授病患注射胰岛素

Mr. Vega, I'll show you how to use your insulin pen now.

韦嘉先生，我来教你使用胰岛素笔。

OK.

好的。

Before we start, we'll wash our hands.

开始注射前，我们需要清洗双手。

OK. I've got everything ready on the trolley.

好的。手推车上的一切已经准备妥当。

First, take the cover off the insulin pen.

首先，取下胰岛素笔上的盖子。

Right.

好的。

Now, use an alcohol wipe to clean the rubber seal on the end of the insulin pen.

现在，用酒精棉擦拭胰岛素笔末端的橡胶封闭口消毒。

OK.

好的。

Now, screw the needle onto the end of the insulin pen.

接着，把针头拧紧到胰岛素笔的末端。

OK. Now it's put together, right?

好了，现在安装完毕，对吗？

That's right. Next, you have to prime the insulin pen.

没错。然后，你需要填充胰岛素笔。

What does that mean?

你的意思是？

It means that you have to get the insulin right to the end of the needle.

你需要把胰岛素放置到针头的另一端。

I see. How do I do that?

我懂了，我该怎么做？

Firstly, turn the end of the pen to number 2.

首先 ，把胰岛素笔的另一端转向2号瓶。

Number 2 in the window.

2号瓶在窗口处。

That's it. Then get the insulin to the end of the needle to prime the pen.

非常好。然后用针头把胰岛素吸入到胰岛素笔内。

OK.

好的。

That's it. You can see the drop of insulin at the end of the needle.

没错。你可以看到针头另一端的胰岛素液体。

Yes.

是的。

Next, turn the end of the pen to dial the dose of insulin.

然后，用胰岛素笔的末端调试剂量。

Right. I need 12 units.

是的，我需要12个单位。

Now, pinch up some skin on your abdomen so it's easier to inject the insulin.

现在，捏紧腹部的皮肤以便注射。

Like this, so the skin's raised?

像这样，将皮肤捏紧？

That's it. Hold the pen up and inject into the raised skin.

对，将笔拿起来然后注射进皮肤。

OK. Hold pen upright and inject.

好的。拿起笔然后注射。

Finally, hold in the button at the end of the pen and count to 5 so all the insulin goes in.

最后，按住笔端的按钮静待5秒钟，让胰岛素充分注入皮肤。

OK. 1-2-3-4-5.

好的，1-2-3-4-5。

That's it. Now you put the pen away until you need it next time.

很好。现在把笔取下放好，等待下次使用。

OK.

好的。

Do I have to keep the insulin pen in the fridge?

我是不是得把胰岛素笔放进冰箱里存放？

No. You mustn't store the insulin pen in the fridge.

不用。胰岛素笔是不需要放进冰箱的。

Why's that?

为什么？

Insulin shouldn't be too hot or too cold, so it's best to store the pen at room temperature.

胰岛素存放温度不应过高或多低，所以将其存放在室温状态下最佳。

Right. So, why do I use the cool pouch for then?

好的。那这些冰袋的作用的什么？

Use the cool pouch when you travel so the insulin stays at the right temperature.

冰袋是为了保证在你外出时，胰岛素依然能够在适宜温度下存放。

That's handy.

非常方便
