Clayton's Basic Pharmacology for Nurses Chapter 11 exam with pure
question and answer 100% correct
Terms in this set (44)
Implantable infusion ports Used for long-term therapy when intermittent accessing of
the central vein is required for IV fluids, medications, TPN,
chemotherapy, and blood products. Provides the most
flexibility for patients.
midline catheter 3-8 inches long, double or single lumen; inserted through
intermediate sized veins and advanced to larger vessels. Used
for therapies lasting 1-4 weeks but no recommended optimal
dwell time (fluid hydration, long-term antibiotics, heparin
infusions for DVT).
Hypotonic solution Solute concentration is less than that inside the cell; cell gains
water. Used in cellular dehydration.
Dextrose 5% in water (D5W) A sterile solution that contains a concentration of 5% dextrose
in water.
Hypotonic solution.
Winged needle IV catheter - A.K.A butterfly catheter, scalp catheter
- SHORT TERM USE!
- Blood collection.
- Admin of non-irritating meds.
- Easy to puncture vessel wall, allowing SQ infiltration.
- Plastic wings facilitate placement
syringe pump Infusion control device is used to administer morphine
through a patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) pump
What can the nurse do to prevent fungal Refrain from applying topical ointment or cream
infection on a IV site?
Every 24 hours How often should the nurse change the IV administration set
used for TPN?
Subclavian vein Most commonly used vein for central venous catheters
Veins of the lower extremities IV sites at greatest risk for development of thrombi
Microdrip chamber 60 drops/ml
Implanted Central Venous Catheter consist of an implanted long term venous access port device
composed of a catheter and reservoir with a self-sealing
septum. Can last for more than a year if properly flushed
with saline-heparin solution after every use and once
monthly.
