Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal and vertical dotted line
To print: Ctrl+PPrint as a list

47 notecards = 12 pages (4 cards per page)

into the vein

-administration of substances (fluids) directly into the vein

front 2

parental route

back 2

bypassing GI system going straight into the bloodstream- directly into the circulatory system

front 3

functions of PN

back 3

  • perform venipuncture, insert peripheral IV'S
  • discontinue peripheral IV'S
  • administer IV fluids
  • administer and maintain TPN,PPN,lipids

-if patient is unable to consent, legally authorized representative may consent

front 8

indications of IV therapy

back 8

  • fluids and electrolytes
  • maintain IV fluids, replacement of fluids and/or electrolytes
  • monitor BMP
  • medications
  • nutrients
  • blood products

front 9

advantages of IV therapy

back 9

  • bioavailability is immediate
  • absorption into bloodstream is complete and reliable
  • large doses can be delivered at a continuous rate
  • no "first pass" effect in the liver

front 10

disadvantages of IV therapy

back 10

  • adverse reactions may occur
  • increased risk of complications
  • phlebitis (inflammation-systemic)
  • air embolism(air bubbles block blood vessel)

front 11

iv therapy uses veins NOT arteries

Anything running on an IV line must be on an IV pump

(T/F)

back 22

true

front 23

types of solution

commonly used for hydration and electrolyte imbalances

ex: dextrose solutions(sugar), lactated ringers, saline solutions and plasmalyte (osmolyte)

front 24

types of solutions

colloids

whole blood (when blood is donated)

back 28

restores blood volume

transfusion reactions

hemolytic

back 29

dangerous, cells Burst

ex: bleeding (urine), chest pain, back pain, chills

true

front 34

total parental nutrition (TPN)

back 34

peripheral / partial parental nutrition (PPN)

back 35

can be given via peripheral IV line

front 36
