Don't sweat the small stuff
It's Complicated
100
The solution moves into the cell causing plant to swell.
What is Hypotonic solution?
100
A patient admitted with a head injury, has an order for D5%NS at 25ml/hr. The IV tubing is calibrated at 10gtt/ml. Calculate the flow rate.
What is 4gtt/min?
100
The most common traumatic complication of central venous catheter insertion
What is pneumothorax?
100
This is how often IV sites should be rotated and tubing changed
What is 72 hours?
100
The key to the prevention of IV complications
What is IV monitoring?
200
The concentration of solutes is equal inside and outside the cell so water moves across the membrane in both directions maintaining cell size.
What is Isotonic solution
200
These are the two factors that determine the flow rate
What is pressure and resistance?
200
To prevent transfusion reaction, this may be removed from blood
What is leukocytes?
200
The occurrence of blood entering the catheter and collection chamber of the catheter device once the vein is punctured
What is flashback?
200
The leaking of IV fluid into the tissue surrounding the vein.
What is infiltration?
300
The solution has a higher concentration than the cell so water moves out of the cell and into the solution causing the cell to plasmolyze.
What is Hpertonic solution?
300
The length of time in which the infusion of blood should be completed
What is 4 hours?
300
The single most effective way to prevent the spread of infection
What is hand washing?
300
I will not start an IV at this site as my patient may need a PICC line
What is the antecubital?
300
The leakage of blood from the vessel into the surrounding soft tissue
What is hematoma?
400
Fluid used to treat severe hyponatremia
What is Hypertonic solution?
400
The length of time it will take for 1200 of IV fluid to be infused at a rate of 50 gtts per min using a 15 gtts per ml set.
What is 6 hours?
400
Complication in which there is purulent discharge and redness at the site of an IV
What is infection?
400
Substances known to be more caustic than regular IV fluids
What are vesicants?
400
The leakage of vesicant fluids into the tissues.
What is extravasation?
500
I should not be administered to patient with increased intracranial pressure
What is Hypotonic solution?
500
The drip rate for an intravenous infusion of 500 mls set to be infused for 5 hours using a 15 gtts per mls set
What is 25 gtts per min?
500
Used to relieve pain and increase flow when the patient is experiencing pain at the IV site
What is a warm compress?
500
Length if time that the tourniquet may be left in place when starting an IV
What is 4 to 6 minutes?
500
Inflammation of the intimal lining of the vein, a progressive complication
What is phlebitis?
