Regulating Flow Rates Equipment: Watch with a second hand Paper and Pencil IV tubing, macro drip or micro drip Electronic infusion control device Volume control device Tape Label
Assessment: Review medical record for physician order, stating type, amount, rate or duration of IV fluid order or IV med Assess client's understanding Identify client risk Determine the presence of any client or mechanical factor that may alter ordered fluid rates Obtain info from pharmacology references Assess patency of IV device (make sure not infusing into sq area, phlebitis or bleeding at site) is so, assess first & may need to discontinue Check for infection (assess site daily) Make sure have I & O (nursing judgment) Need to make sure no emboli ( prevention need to back flush)
-Make sure have I & O (nursing judgment) need to make sure no emboli ( prevention need to back flush) - Assess for fluid overload; (check for I & O, listen to lung sounds, weight client) - If IV slows down after insertion, check to make the site, check position of extremity and fluid ( is it empty), - Need to check IV on a pump every hour to make sure that pump is working correctly
Blood transfusion
Always check MD order Take explain procedure to client Make sure you have equipment (blood tubing, Saline ( NO DEXTROSE) ,and have saline connected to Y filter of blood tubing, and a 18 gauge angiocath or needle - Make sure saline is running - Take temperature if above 100 0 notify MD immediately - Take order, and blood papers to lab to get blood - Get blood & return to floor, get another RN to do the three check, Blood itself, paper and clients ID which will contain (Blood type, RH factor, ID numbers)
IF blood is not correct must be returned to blood bank in 20 minutes Take a set of vital signs Initial set before starting blood Stay in room the first 15 minutes Must take vital signs for 1 hour every15 minutes or hospital policy Stop NSS solution and hang blood and start the blood Remember when the blood hits the clients blood vessel it will slow down and the client may chill for a few minutes ( blood is very cold) If reaction to blood stop immediately ( constantly feeling cold, temp elevated, shivering, pain in back, headache, vomiting, tachycardia, respiratory distress, skin rash, hypotension)
Clamp off blood and NSS Call for help Disconnect tubing from site and deposit it into a sealed back ( the tubing with the Blood and NSS MUST all stay together) Hang a NEW NSS saline Notify MD , and monitor closely, take vital signs
Outcomes: Client receives correct volume within correct time frame (moist mucous membranes, adequate skin turgor, and balanced I&O) Medications are administered over correct time frame with therapeutic response
Steps Time tape the IV bottle Close rate controlling clamp on IV tubing Insert infusion set into fluid bagremove protective cover from IV bag without touching openingremove cap from spike and insert spike into opening of IV baghang bag from pole Fill drip chamber of tubing till half full Open rate controlling clamp and fill remainder of tubinginvert Y connector sites to displace air Close rate controlling clamp Perform venipuncture and attach catheter to end of IV tubing With IV fluid bag a minimum of 36 in. above IV insertion site, adjust rate controlling clamp to deliver drops per minute
Instruct client about the following Avoid raising hand or arm to a position that will affect flow rate Avoid manipulation of rate control clamp Purpose and significance of alarms
