Complication of IV Therapy
red, warm, tender vein, cord-like, Inflammation of the vein
What is Phlebitis?
Type of needless IV connector that allows access to IV Catheter without needle
What is PRN Adapter?
Controlling the movement of water to one location from another
What is Osmosis?
High blood pressure, full, bounding pulse
What is hypervolemia/fluid excess?
Made of water and other uniformly dissolved crystals such as salt and sugar
What is crystalloid solutions?
Cool, Swollen, pale site (IV leaks into surrounding tissue)
What is Infiltration?
Admin of parenteral drug that is diluted in small volume of IV solution. Usually 50-100 mL of fluid given over 30-60 min.
What is secondary infusion?
undissolved proteins (albumin, blood cells) that do not pass through membranes
What are colloids?
diarrhea, vomiting, laxative abuse, major burns, fever and sweating, gastric suction
What is caused of hypovolemia/fluid defecit?
Maintains fluid balance, generally will not cause fluid shift
What is Isotonic Solution?
Elevated blood pressure, SOB, Bounding pulse, anxiety,
What is circulatory overload?
Drip of parenteral drug over several hours. Involves 500-1000 mL
What is Continuous Administration?
Movement of fluid from high pressure to lower pressure
What is hydrostatic pressure?
Low blood pressure, rapid, weak and thready pulse
What is hypovolemia/fluid deficit?
Use for fluid replacement, hem concentrated like after diarrhea or vomiting
Sudden chest pain, shortness of breath, anxiety
What is pulmonary embolus?
Medication given quickly in a vein, all at once
What is Bolus Administration?
Dissolved substances like electrolytes and gases move from a higher area of concentration to an area of lower through semipermeable membrane
What is Passive Diffusion?
Excessive intake of sodium, Kidney failure, heart failure, admin of albumin, pregnancy,
What is causes of Hypervolemia/Fluid Excess?
What is Crystalloid Solutions?
Swelling, discomfort, slowed infusion
Catheter used for vesicant medications:
What is Central Venous Catheter?
What is facilitated diffusion?
Movement of intravascular fluid to non-vascular fluid compartments where it becomes trapped and useless
What is Third-spacing?
More concentrated than body fluid so it draws fluid back into the vasculature-risky and used infrequently such as to reduce cerebral edema
What is hypertonic solution?
