| Nursing responsibilities for IV sites | assess site (CLEAN, DRY, INTACT) document at least every 8 hours, awareness of Fluid types and complications. |
| Complications of IV therapy | ain and irritation, infiltration and extraversion, occlusion, loss of patency, phlebitis. |
| Phlebitis Causes | bacterial, chemical, mechanical |
| Phlebitis Assessment | erythema, pain or burning, warmth, oedema, cordlike vein. |
| Crystalloids | clear fluids, dextrose or saline, can be Iso, Hypo or Hyper tonic |
| Colloids | cloudy, yellowish, used to raise osmotic pressure, |
| Isotonic IV | same tonicity as body 0.9% NSS |
| Reasons to give an Isotonic IV | Hypotension (increases BP), Hypovolemia |
| Complications of Isotonic IV | Fluid overload |
| Examples of Isotonic Solutions | 0,9% NSS, D5W(isotonic in bottle, hypotonic in body), Lactated Ringers |
| Reasons to give a Hypotonic IV | Will cause Fluid to shift from intravascular to intracellular space. |
| Indications for Hypotonic IV | dehydration |
| Hypotonic Solutions | 45% sodium chloride, 5%dextrose water (becomes hypotonic in body) |
