Ok I have been out of the hosp for 4years but we got this admission a dialysis patient that was being admitted to have his inpatient dialysis. There was no order for an IV and he was on telemetry and the nurse i was working w/ said "oh we always put IV's in everyone"..But i did not. I am confused though b/c at my last hospital if they had a telemetry monitor they had to have IV access(common sense) but I asked the MD and he didn't want an IV so we didn't start it but I thought it was kind of weird that she stated"oh everyone gets an IV"..I wouldn't want to be stuck if I didn't have to...Ya know?
