NLN Test for IV Therapy..Help Please!

Specialties Infusion

Published

I have just became a registry nurse and just recently I was told that a complaint was issued against that an IV infiltrated on a patient after my shift, during another nurse's shift. The patient even stated that it was not my fault and that it infiltrated hours after I left. As a result, the hospital I am working for has required me to complete an IV therapy test. It is an NLN IV therapy test and I'm having a helluva time completing it. Half the test I can not understand and can not even begin to answer. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to where I can find a complete source on IV therapy that I can refer to and refresh my memory short of buying a book?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I took the IV therapy NLN test before. I read up on the classes of drugs first and I did well. Is there something in particular your not understanding? Maybe we can help you?
