1

This has greater concentration also having greater tonicity then blood, solution Enters the vessel.

1

This solution is of equal solute concentration; solutions that have the same concentration, or osmolality, as blood and are used to expand the fluid volume of the body. It stays where I put it.

1

This solution is lesser concentration; containing less solute than extravascular fluid. This solution goes Out of the vessels.

1

This route is the main method of supplying The patient with fluids and medications when the patient is unable to take them orally.

1

This is a concentrated dose given in a short period of time intravenously.

1

1

This administration set is used to infuse certain blood products.

1

You can administer blood products with any type of medication.

What is the slogan that was developed to emphasize the importance of using a sterile alcohol pad with friction and time when assessing a central line injection port for IV connection.

1

What are some signs and symptoms of fluid overload

1

The wingtip or butterfly needle is meant for what type of therapy

1

The wing tips for butterfly needles, and what type of gauges

1

For clear aqueous solutions what size gauge needle is used

1

For a more viscous fluid, blood products or a rapid administration of large amounts of fluid what size gauge needle should you use?

1

You should never take a blood pressure on the arm that has a Picc or ML catheter in place.

1

Correct placement of the subclavian catheter's must be verified by what type of procedure before any fluid is infuse through them?

1

Never use a syringe that is smaller than what mL for flushing a central line?

1

This is when a piece of the catheter travels through a vessel and lodges, obstructing blood flow.

1

This occurs when fluid or medication leaks out of the vein into the tissue with signs and symptoms including edema around the site and cool, pale tissue. The flow can be slow and sluggish.

1

This is the infiltration of the second drug from an IV line with the appearance of the site the patient's subjective complaints may initially be similar to those with infiltration the damage may go unnoticed for 48 to 72 hours.

1

When administering blood products you must use a 20 gauge or larger needle

1

This is caused by irritation of the vein by the needle, the catheter, medications, or additives in the IV solution. The typical signs are your Erythema, warmth, swelling, and tenderness.

1

This is a type a blood stream infection that occurs when infectious pathogens are introduced into the bloodstream.

1

Your patient has an air embolus which can occur when changing bags or an opening the line and the subclavian have a sudden drop in the blood pressure increase in the pulse, what would be a nursing implication?

1

This occurs when fluids or medications are given by bolus or administered to rapidly?

1

What is a nursing action if your patient has a catheter embolus?

1

The primary fluid must be ( higher, lower ) to flow before the secondary fluid.

1

Your flushing an IV after administering medications, how many mLs should you flush with?

1

How long do signed consents for blood last?

1

Evidence based practice indicates that what type of solution is the only solution used in combination with infusion of a blood products.

1

TPN must be replaced every ( 24 hours, 12 hours, 36 hours, 7 days ).
