I just checked the Texas website under IV therapy and what a LVN may do and it does not list port acccess.It involves more than just accessing it.You must assess for a variety of potential complications , including loss of blood return, secondary malposition,drug leakage pathway formation,port pocket infection or tunnel infection and others.

I am trying to learn board regulations regarding who can access an IP or mediport. i have read through reams of bon topics, and can't find specific information. I want to know what Tx. BON says aboutLVN putting the Huber needle into an unaccessed port.
