Just wondering if anyone can tell me what the latest practice is for administering a bolus push of IV antibiotics where an infusion of normal saline is running concurrently at 125mL/hr? Would you stop the infusion or pinch the line to prevent the medication running back up the line, or would the infusion rate be fast enough to prevent this from happening? Help needed as I am trying to write an assignment due in one week and can't find any information to support current practice of IV therapy :uhoh21:. My lecturer believes that the therapy does not need to be stopped however, everywhere I look, it says to stop infusion, administer antibiotic, and recommence therapy. Any help will be appreciated thanks.
