Saline Locks & Showers

littlebluenurse posted a topic in Med-Surg

I know this is a very basic question...but I need to know. :) Why is it so important to cover saline locks (ie with saran wrap, etc) when a patient is going to shower? My guess is that otherwise, the water can loosen the adhesive and the IV can slip...
