It is widely utilized in intravenous therapy to enable the efficient administration of fluids, medications, and blood products

Question 2

a solution that has the same osmolality as body fluids. It is used for clients with fluid volume deficit also called hypovolemia to raise their blood pressure. However, infusion of too much isotonic fluid can cause excessive fluid volume also referred to as hypervolemia.

Question 3

the deficiency of blood supply caused by obstruction of circulation to the body part. If left untreated, ischemia can lead to tissue damage, necrosis or organ dysfunction due to inadequate oxygen delivery

Question 4

substances such as large protein molecules that do not readily dissolve into true solutions. Just like albumin or dextran it contains large proteins that do not fully dissolve and help expand intravascular volume by drawing fluid from interstitial spaces, making them useful for treating shock, burns, and hypoproteinemia.

Question 5

occurs when the tip of an IV catheter is outside the vein, allowing fluid to enter surrounding tissue instead; manifested by local swelling, coolness, pallor, and discomfort at the IV site.

Question 6

a person who gives blood, cells, tissue, or an organ for use in another person, such as in a blood transfusion or an organ transplant .

Question 7

it is the quality or state of being open, unobstructed and allowing the free flow of fluids or air. In the context of IV, it means the device can be flushed without resistance and allows free blood return upon aspiration. Assessing IV patency involves confirming these functions as applicable. Any obstruction or narrowing can compromise function and lead to serious health complications.

Question 8

presence of excess interstitial fluid in the body that makes skin appear swollen, shiny, and taut, and tends to blanch color.

Question 9

inflammation of the wall of a vein. It presents with redness, warmth, swelling and tenderness along the affected vein which can lead to complications such as thrombophlebitis.

Question 10

blood clot or a substance that has moved from its place of origin and is causing obstruction to circulation elsewhere .

Question 11

a plastic tube attached to a needle, used to maintain venous access for continuous medication administration or blood sampling.
a plastic tube attached to a needle, used to maintain venous access for continuous medication administration or blood sampling.

Question 12

the rupture of red blood cells which leads to the release of hemoglobin into the plasma. This occurs due to mechanical trauma, immune reactions, infections or exposure to toxins.

Question 13

an individual who receives biological material (as blood or an organ) from a donor. Compatibility between donor and recipient is crucial to prevent immune rejection or transfusion reactions.

Question 14

a solution with higher osmolality than body fluids, drawing water out of cells and causing cell shrinkage. When infused, it increases solute concentration in the intravascular space, causing water to move out of cells into the bloodstream to restore balance.

Question 15

puncture of a vein for collection of a blood specimen or for infusion of therapeutic solutions. It is a common medical procedure performed for diagnostic tests, IV therapy or blood donation.

Question 16

have a lower osmolarity than body fluids, causing water to move into cells, leading to swelling and potential rupture. Hypotonic IV solutions decrease blood solute concentration, driving water into cells, making them effective for treating cellular dehydration.

Question 17

procedure in which donated blood or blood components are given to a patient through an intravenous line (IV).

Question 18

method of putting fluids, medications or blood directly into the bloodstream through a vein using IV line.

Question 19

It is commonly used to deliver emergency medications, blood, or fluids in situations such as:

Question 20

Swelling in the brain

Question 21

High sodium level

Question 22

mechanical device used to transfer fluid from one point to another by moving a fixed volume through a pumping chamber. It ensures a constant and smooth flow, offering precise control over the fluid delivered. These pumps are capable of handling viscous, corrosive, or particulate-laden fluids, making them highly reliable and adaptable in various clinical settings.

Question 23

simplest method for administering drugs and fluids. The predecessors of modern IV pumps, Gravity-controlled infusion systems function by using gravity to drive fluid from an infusion bag or bottle through tubing connected to the patient’s vascular access device. A clamp holds the bag in place, and clinicians regulate the flow manually using a drip chamber and roller clamp.

Question 24

motor-driven precision pump that uses one or more syringes to deliver precise and accurate amounts of fluid in high-impact research environments.

Question 25

designed for pain management, allowing patients to self-administer a controlled dose of medication as needed.

Question 26

Devices for continuous and constant infusion of drugs intravenously or subcutaneously. The pump stores fluid in a stretchable balloon reservoir, where the elastic walls create pressure to drive fluid delivery.

Question 27

pump integrated with safety features, including user alerts that warn of potential adverse drug interactions or parameter settings that exceed safety limits. are infusion devices embedded with a computer to prevent drug dosage errors. They often include drug libraries and alarm systems.

Question 28

complication is a blood clot that blocks and stops the blood flow in the artery in the lung. This type of complication can be life-threatening if one or more clots block the flow of the artery to the lungs. When blockages in the arteries inside your heart, your heart must push blood through those vessels hardly and this can lead to pulmonary hypertension in which blood pressure in both the lungs and in the right side of the heart is too high.

Question 29

potentially serious complication caused by the contaminated intravenous solution being infused and commonly manifested by having a fever, chill, and cold. This generality of this complication will be controlled with the improvement of sterilization and generalizing the application of the infusion set but still exists in clinical practice.

Question 30

hardened or thickened veins often due to the repeated IV insertion, inflammation, or chronic venous issues. This complicates the

Question 31

adverse systemic reaction when a foreign substance is introduced into the bloodstream rapidly. This occurs with IV push medication administration when the medication peaks very quickly.

Question 32

compresses the nerves that leads to numbness and tingling in the hand after the IV together with pain in affected areas.

Question 33

The large, long vein that extends from the medial aspect, or inner side of the foot to the inner part of the thigh which is commonly utilized when

Question 34

continuation of the venous plexus which is often visible and accessible. These veins have a consistent blood flow which makes it suitable for intravenous infusion. The Dorsal arch can also serve as an alternative venipuncture site for neonates and patients with compro

Question 35

network of veins on the dorsal surface of the foot that drains blood into the larger veins such as the great saphenous vein.

Question 36

Vein in the scalp

Answer 36

Superficial temporal vein

Question 37

number of drops delivered per milliliter of solution (gtts/mL) The rate can vary depending on the type and brand of the infusion set, however the rate is printed on the packaging of the set.

Answer 37

Drop factor
