  9. tips on starting IV, drawing blood on obese patient

    studystudy replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    studystudy replied to studystudy's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, maybe I was unclear. I know that the slit on the Biopatch should line up with the catheter to make it easier to remove. I am by myself changing these dressings, and TOO MANY are coming in...
