20 min checks

Published

The twenty min check consists of the initial intro and washing of hands in addition to verifying iv and enteral feeding solutions are correct, rates are correct, site check and recording of the types and rates. I then plan on going into vital signs. My question is- what if the pt has an IVAD or no IV?

I had my 20min checks under fluid mgmt but now ive divided it into two different mneumonics. Fld mgmt is one and the other is just for the 20 min checks.

Exactly! I was practicing the one from sheris video- 1.25 ml over 1 min.... Ugh!!! I was pushing too fast!

Any idea if theyll give us volume amounts with half or quarter as in 1.25 or 2.5 ml over a certain time?
