3. IV push meds

   WhiteLily replied to IngyRN's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you IVRUS, I am actually not doing it, but rather reading from a book about it. In the hospital I was told to flush peripherally inserted catheters with 10cc NS before and after meds, and to flush the PICC lines with 10 cc NS followed by 5cc he...

11. Typical NS Infusion Rates?

    WhiteLily replied to Music in My Heart's topic in Student Assist

    Thanks to all of you. I think the second nurse's concern was mainly the pt's heart condition. This was a telemetry floor.

12. Typical NS Infusion Rates?

    WhiteLily replied to Music in My Heart's topic in Student Assist

    Thank you! I was wandering how long does it take to infuse 250cc bolus (just that, by gravity), and without the pump? Google is not helping a lot on this one.
