(GRADED A+)
Peripheral catheter - Answer- • This is the most common intravenous access method in
both hospitals and pre-hospital services. A peripheral IV line consists of a short catheter
(a few centimeters long) inserted through the skin into a peripheral vein (any vein that is
not inside the chest or abdomen). This is usually in the form of a cannula-over-needle
device, in which a flexible plastic cannula comes mounted on a needle. Any accessible
vein can be used although arm and hand veins are used most commonly, with leg and
foot veins used to a much lesser extent. On infants the scalp veins are sometimes used.
14 being a very large cannula and
24-26 the smallest. - Answer- The caliber of cannula is commonly indicated in gauge,
with _____ being a very large cannula (used in resuscitation settings) and
_____-______ the smallest.
16 gauge - Answer- The most common sizes of gauge are ______ (midsize line used
for blood donation and transfusion),
18- and 20-gauge - Answer- (all-purpose line for infusions and blood draws),
22-gauge - Answer- (all-purpose pediatric line).
12- and 14-gauge - Answer- _____ peripheral lines actually deliver equivalent volumes
of fluid faster than central lines, accounting for their popularity in emergency medicine.
large bores" or "trauma lines". - Answer- These lines are frequently called
(hand, wrist, forearm, antecubital fossa). - Answer- IV site assessment
• Note the location
Every 2hrs - Answer- Site should be visually inspected and palpated every _____. The
IV site should be free of redness, swelling, tenderness. The IV dressing should be clean
and secure.
48 - 72 hours. - Answer- For adults, change catheter and rotate site every ____-____
24 hours - Answer- Replace catheters inserted under emergency conditions within ____
• Swelling
• Pallor
, • Coolness
Discomfort
• Sluggish flow - Answer- ASSESSMENT
apply ice to the site (this will decrease inflammation) - Answer- If noticed within 30
minutes of onset,
apply warm compress (this will encourage absorption) - Answer- If noticed later then 30
minutes of onset
Injection Port
Drip chamber
Roller clamp
Side clamp - Answer- IV Fluid set up
Microdrip - Answer- an apparatus for delivering relatively small measured amounts of IV
solutions at specific flow rates over time, as when it is necessary to keep a vein open.
It is the introduction of a solution by means of a syringe and needle into the superficial
layer of the skin or just below the epidermis of the skin.
10 to 15 degree angle - Answer- INTRADERMAL INJECTION DEFINITION:
To identify allergens to which the client may be hypersensitive (skin test)
To diagnose individuals who have developed antibodies against specific pathogens,
such as tubercle bacillus. - Answer- INTRADERMAL INJECTION PURPOSES:
Inner surface of the forearm
Upper chest if not hairy - Answer- INTRADERMAL INJECTION SITES:
Injection tray lined with sterile towel containing:
Medicine ticket
Solution prescribed
Disposable sterile tuberculin syringe
Disposable sterile 3 cc syringe
Disposable sterile needle Gauge 25 - 26
Disposable sterile aspirating needle
A jar of CB soaked in 70% alcohol (ROH)/alcohol swab
Waste receptacle - Answer- INTRADERMAL INJECTION EQUIPMENTS:
- Answer- SUBCUTANEOUS OR HYPODERMIC INJECTION
It is the introduction of a small amount of solution by means of a syringe and needle into
the adipose tissue beneath the skin - Answer- SUBCUTANEOUS OR HYPODERMIC
INJECTION DEFINITION:
To deliver medication more rapidly to the bloodstream than oral administration.
