Intravenous (I.V.) Therapy, patient safety and comfort are important elements in patient care. For the medical professional the level of care provided is only as strong as the level of knowledge. Today I.V. therapy has become more commonplace in inpatient and ambulatory settings. With advances in bio-technology, changes with equipment and supplies, patients are increasingly receiving IV therapy in more non-traditional settings around the world. This book is intended to provide healthcare professionals with the necessary skills to safely provide I.V. therapy.
