Recapping a needle using the one-hand scoop technique: nursing clinical skill demonstration for medication administration.
Recapping a needle is dangerous and should be avoided in most cases due to risks of a needle stick injury.

However, if you do have to recap a needle due to having no other option, you'll want to use a technique that can reduce your risk of a needlestick injury.
The one-hand scoop technique involves placing the needle back into the cap using your dominant hand while your non-dominant hand rests by your side, away from danger.
As the needle enters the cap, rotate the syringe up so that gravity causes the cap to settle onto the base of the needle.
Next, depending on your facility's protocol, you can use the non-dominant hand to snap the cap onto the device near the bottom of the cap. Alternatively, some protocols require the use of a sturdy surface as resistance to snap the cap back onto the needle, without using the non-dominant hand.
Finally, remove and dispose of the needle per your facility's protocol.
