Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
show Provides H20, electrolytes, & nutrientsAdminister medications & blood products.  
🗑
Two types of IV solutions   show
🗑
Able to pass through semipermeable membrane. Isotonic, hypotonic, hypertonic   show
🗑
show Colloids  
🗑
show Isotonic Solutions  
🗑
show Isotonic Solutions  
🗑
Lactated Ringers (common for surgery)   show
🗑
show Isotonic Solutions  
🗑
Pull fluid out of vascular space & into cells. 0.45% sodium chloride (half-normal saline) Ok to use in PIV   show
🗑
Main use: Replaces cellular fluid. Administer cautiously: Fluid shift from vascular system to cells, may lead to intravascular fluid depletion, may result in CV collapse & increased intracranial pressure   show
🗑
Draw fluid from ICF to ECF. From cells to blood vessels. May cause fluid volume excess.   show
🗑
Should be administered via central vein. 50% dextrose (D50) Only emergency such as hypoglycemia,   show
🗑
TPN   show
🗑
Types of Venous Catheters   show
🗑
show PIV  
🗑
show PICC, Midline  
🗑
show Tunneled Catheter, Implanted port  
🗑
show Intraosseous (IO)  
🗑
Over the needle catheter, most commonly used, lengths 0.75"-1.25", diameters: 12 gauge-24 gauge   show
🗑
show Site change every 72-96 hrs. Dressing change: gauze every 48 hrs. transparent 3-7 days.  
🗑
show No might cause embolism  
🗑
Warm pack, have them relax extremity, fear can result in venous constriction   show
🗑
show Winged-Infusion Set  
🗑
show Midline Catheter  
🗑
Midline Catheters should not be used for   show
🗑
show Central venous catheters  
🗑
Types of Central venous catheters   show
🗑
PICC   show
🗑
show Ease of insertion, low complication rates, low infection rates, multi-lumen access, comfortable for patients, easy to cover up, can be used long-term up to a year.  
🗑
PICC Disadvantages   show
🗑
Non-Tunneled Central Lines   show
🗑
show Infuse large volumes quickly, any medication or blood, hemodynamic monitoring, multi-lumen access  
🗑
Non-Tunneled Central Lines Disadvantages   show
🗑
show Skin-Tunneled Catheters  
🗑
Commonly called: Broviac, Hickman Tunnel provides distance between entry site in vein and exit site in skin   show
🗑
Indicated for frequent or continuous administration of IV substances, commonly called Port-a-Cath Central, long term   show
🗑
show Implanted Ports  
🗑
show Implanted Ports  
🗑
show Delivery of TPN & other fluids, including blood products, chemotherapy & other drugs, obtaining blood specimens  
🗑
Implanted Port Risks:   show
🗑
show Fluid overload/pulmonary edema, embolism, infection, allergic reaction  
🗑
Fluid overload s/s   show
🗑
Pulmonary edema s/s   show
🗑
Fluid Overload Treatment   show
🗑
show Slow or stop infusion rate, O2, diuretics  
🗑
Fluid Overload Prevention   show
🗑
Accidental entry of air into vasculature. Piece of catheter breaks off & enters circulation, can block major vessel, blood clot into heart & pulmonary artery   show
🗑
Air embolism s/s   show
🗑
show Clamp cannula, ABC'S, left-sided trendelenburg position, Notify RN/MD, Frequent assessment & vital signs, High-flow O2 if ordered  
🗑
show Use air filters, clamp tubing when changing administration set, use luer lock connection, prime all tubing  
🗑
Intracellular fluid   show
🗑
show Outside of cells  
🗑
Catheter related blood stream infection   show
🗑
Bacteria on skin enters on catheter insertion, catheter movement at insertion site, external sources   show
🗑
show Fever, backache, headache, malaise, tachypnea, signs of poor perfusion: delayed cap. refill, poor color  
🗑
TPN can't hang longer then   show
🗑
show Hub contamination, wipe vigorously every time accessed, change cap every 7 days  
🗑
show Designed to continually release chlorhexidine over 7 days (antimicrobial & antifungal) Provides one inch zone of inhibition, infection decreased 60%  
🗑
show Preferred method of stabilization PICC lines  
🗑
show Chills & fever, erythema, itching, dyspnea or wheezing, anaphylatic shock, cardiac arrest  
🗑
Allergic reaction treatment   show
🗑
Allergic reaction interventions   show
🗑
show Infilltration & extravasion, phlebitis, thrombophlebitis, hematoma, clotting & obstruction  
🗑
IV solution enters surrounding tissues, occurs when IV cannula dislodges or perforates wall of vein   show
🗑
show Edema at insertion site, leaking at site, pain, site cool to touch, decreased rate of infusion, drip rate, blanching, can cause permanent damage  
🗑
show Similar to infiltration, Inadvertent adminstration of chemo, vesicant or irritant  
🗑
Extravasation s/s   show
🗑
show Don't take IV out. Leave in place to administer antidote  
🗑
show Reddened, warm area around site or along vein path, pain, vein may feel hard when palpated  
🗑
show Stop infusion, assess site, notify RN/MD, disinfect site and remove catheter, restart IV opposite extremity, warm moist compress  
🗑
Phlebitis prevention   show
🗑
Phlebitis   show
🗑
show Blood leaks into tissues surrounding IV insertion site  
🗑
show Opposite wall of vein perforated, catheter slipping out of vein, insufficient pressure to site after catheter removal  
🗑
show Ecchymois-bruising, immediate swelling, blood leaking at site  
🗑
show Clot or precipitate, kinked tubing, very slow infusion rate, allowing IV bag to run dry  
🗑
