Which statement is true regarding piggybacks?
1. A piggyback is battery operated.
2. A piggyback is connected to a short tubing line.
3. A piggyback is commonly known as a saline lock.
4. A piggyback contains 10 to 20 mL of fluid. - 2. A piggyback is connected to a short
tubing line.
A piggyback is connected to a short tubing line. A syringe pump is battery operated and
contains a very small amount of fluid. Intermittent venous access is commonly known as
a saline lock. A piggyback contains between 25 and 250 mL of fluid.
Which strategy would the nurse use to prevent errors when administering a high-risk
medication intravenously? Select all that apply. One, some, or all responses may be
correct.
1. Use the mnemonic CATS PRRR.
2. Ask another nurse to double-check all medications.
3. Follow the five rights of safe medication administration.
4. Prepare high-alert medications in a patient care unit.
5. Review the medication prescription for use of standardized infusion concentrations of
high-alert medications.
6. If a pharmacist has checked the work process, there is no need for the nurse to
check it. - 1. Use the mnemonic CATS PRRR
5. Review the medication prescription for use of standardized infusion concentrations of
high-alert medications.
Use the mnemonic CATS PRRR to help remember safety checks for administering
intravenous medications: C, compatibilities; A, allergies; T, tubing correct; S, site
checked; P, pump safety checked; R, right rate; R, release clamps; R, return and
reassess the patient. The nurse should review the medication prescription for use of
standardized infusion concentrations of high-alert medications.
Which statement describes the rationale of using the intravenous (IV) route of drug
administration?
1. Used to inject highly soluble medications
2. Used for the rapid injection of medications
3. Administered to patients with suitable veins
4. Establishes constant therapeutic blood levels - 4. Establishes constant therapeutic
blood levels
, Which nursing skill is involved in assessing a patient's status after administering an
intravenous medication?
1. Planning
2. Evaluation
3. Assessment
4. Implementation - 2. Evaluation
Evaluation is the skill involved when the nurse assesses a patient's status after giving
an intravenous medication. Planning involves collecting the medication administration
record as well as taking steps to avoid interruptions. Assessment involves checking the
accuracy and completeness of each medication administration record with the health
care provider's medication prescriptions. Implementation involves performing hand
hygiene, putting on gloves, explaining the procedures, and administering medications.
Which statement is true regarding intermittent venous access?
1. Intermittent venous access requires constant monitoring of flow rates.
2. Intermittent venous access reduces the risk of rapid-dose infusion by an intravenous
push.
3. Intermittent venous access increases patient mobility, safety, and comfort.
4. Intermittent venous access allows medications to be given in very small amounts of
fluid. - 3. Intermittent venous access increases patient mobility, safety, and comfort.
Intermittent venous access, also called a saline lock, is an intravenous catheter capped
off on the end with a small chamber covered by a rubber diaphragm or a specially
designed cap. It increases patient mobility, safety, and comfort. Intermittent venous
access does not require constant monitoring of flow rates.
How many milliliters of solution or diluents are administered through piggybacks?
1. 10ml
2. 30ml
3. 500ml
4. 1000ml - 2. 30ml
Which type of volume-controlled infusion sets involves a macrodrip system?
1. Piggyback
2. Syringe pump
3. Intermittent venous access
4. Volume-controlled administration set - 1. Piggyback
Which statement is true regarding a syringe pump?
1. A syringe pump is a microdrip or macrodrip system.
