oh btw, the reasons I have so far for IV insertions are: for Fluid/electrolyte imbalances, blood/blood component replacement, TPN, and medication administration. Any major reason you guys think im missing? g2g to patho now *sigh*

wow thanks, i just woke up and boom, so many responses already. As far as medications that can only be given through IV, what are some examples?

Hey guys, I'm a SN and I have a project about IVs due in a couple weeks. I was wondering what is the point of "TKO". Is it safe to say (so my professor doesnt call me out in the middle of my presentation) that we TKO so the pt. doesnt have to keep getting injections? Also, in relation to IVs, I was wondering why some antibiotics are given through IV. Again, is it safe to say: for constant levels of the antibiotic in the system Im sorry, i just realized how pretty long this question turned out to be -1st year SN

OMG...its a HARDWARE infection :lol_hitti as in screws or bolts wow...that was..sad... THANKS GUYS i just started using this site and i

thanks for the replies guys but im thinking its not hot water immersion if its the diagnosis (?i dont know first year SN remember?) Its gotta be some sorta infection...the pt. is on vancomycin heart worm infection?? can humans even get heart worm?

OH man i need to read what i post I mean LEFT FOOT HWI

Hey, I'm a first year NS and I cant seem to find anywhere what HWI stands for. The Kardex said Left Food HWI. The nurses at the hospital arnt very helpful and didnt have the time to tell me =( Thanks in advance
