Hi how is everyone doing? I am in a very stressfull position, I have check-offs for my school where I have to pass IV Push. I really need to pass as tomorrow is the last day. For Iv piggyback, I know you have to stop the IV machine, but do you have to clamp the secondary line or not? Also, when your injecting medications through the primary line (Bolus) do you have to stop the pump. Thank you all, and pray that I pass. Please guys and thanks for all the support and help!:)

I wish you luck in your test-out tomorrow. I'm just wondering if you are the same individual that posted earlier and if so why you changed your username?
