A source of information on intravenous therapy, this text provides advice on the provision of quality infusion care to patients in every setting. The history, legal issues, nursing roles, and recent innovations in intravenous therapy practice - including credentialling processes for both RN and LPN/LVNs - are discussed to help to build a solid foundation for study. Equipment, methods for assessing product and equipment needs, central venous catheterization and advanced forms of vascular access are all discussed in detail, complete with trouble shooting techniques. This sixth edition includes 2 new chapters: cost factors associated with infusion therapy and geriatric intravenous therapy; and licensed practical/vocational nurse delivered therapies. Other additions include updated information on risk management, pain management, advanced vascular access, home infusion therapy, total parenteral nutrition and paediatric considerations. The most current CDC guidelines and INS nursing Standards of IV Practice are also included in this edition.
