Can anyone tell me what IV catheter gauge for a rehydration patient? I looked in my med-durg book but they weren't clear. I think its 20 gauge? Help! Thanks.

This may be a stupid question, but what does LOL stand for?

hi all! its my first post! i need help with my care plan for my patient with admit dx: acute pancreatitis: 44 y old female, she presented to the er c/o abd.pain/ vomiting x 3 days. she had 4-5 alcoholic drinks prior. hx of severe hypertriglyceridemia...

I agree Acute Pain will be more relevant to my patient. She was in pain 7/10 scale and had PRN pain med dilaudid 1 mg IV every 3 hrs for moderate pain, and 2 mg for severe pain. Thank you!

she is NPO. according to the patient she drinks "occasionally". thank you for your help!
